Good evening house. Gas for my AC just dey disappear like air. It wasn't cooling enough and I top up with one gas which it start cooling, I didn't use AC for few days, just for me to ON AC today and it was only fan that was blowing, the gas has finished again. Pls what should I do
Continuously toping the gas will damage ur compressor very soon. There's a leak in the system find the leakage stop it before adding gas.

You have a serious evaporated leakage, it can be easily fixed
okay thanks is it something that requires changing the pipe hoses?

Remote diagnosis is impossible in your case.
Take your car to a shop to confirm where the leak is.

Ok,because ac engineers are wicked. Some of them can puncture your pipes purposely,so u will come back again after a month.

When traveling to my village last two weeks,I started seeing AT on my Mazda 3 dashboard, showed my mechanic and he seemed not to know about it as well. The AT sign has been there since then. How do I go about it?

Your car would go into limp mode with that light on.
Scan to pull out code for remote diagnosis.

At 203k mileage,thats if it wasnt rolled back using a gadget from sharp scam practice by naija dealers. Well its a miracle the engine is still running. AT. To me is automatoc transmission(check the sensors,valve body etc. Seems its either low on fluid,fluid is almost dried out ,loose bolts from valve body,etc,or its leaking and almost dried out. Check your transmission oil,while gear is on Drive and handbrake is on. Guage it first.

The VIN is like the NIN of the car.it tells u the cars mileage at the lot.so if its 350k by tracking and it suddenly dropped to 95k in nigeria. Run away fast from that dealer.

Thank you very much. What if one can not get any info at all on the millage by tracking?

Also, please, what is the difference in the design/layout of VIN for the same country. Please see the two images below for USA. Are they both valid? Why Canada in the "logo" of the first one?

Not mandatory for ed nigerian used cars. Only for tokunbo cars.

I know sir. Asking for help doesn't mean someone is dull. No one knows it all.

I know google is there and by God's grace I know how to use it. But some things are better asked from those more experienced. As a matter of fact, I have paid foe VIN report. I asked because I can't really find anything on the odometer/milage.

This is not my first check. It is just strange and I want to know why. No Google can tell that.

Thanks.

The OP asked a rather straightforward question, instead of you guys to answer him or ignore if you do not know the answer, you chose to dance around beating the bush.

AT light on your dash is an automatic transmission warning light. It shows your transmission has developed a fault, is overheating or low on transmission fluid. Have it scanned and also check the state of transmission fluid ASAP. It requires very urgent attention.

Pls ignore those talking about mileage/odometer roll back, it isn't necessary at this point in this car's health.

Most times, it doesn't work properly. 90% of the time. You're better off buying a tokumbo part.
