Just changed mine at MOVA Jalan Bukit Merah Lane 3. Costs plus labour= $780/- Time lost- about 90 to 120 mins. Original V1 replacement. 3 months guarantee. It's an ISO certified workshop.

Hmm... Now still not very ok... Everything's fine before that faithful day, the heavy-rain-flood-most-places day... Went home driving my kim chi in the rain and reached my place, heavy downpour flooding of Circuit Road area, drove thru the huge puddles of water, did not on air con at all, end of part 1... on air con after that day and realise that air con aint blowing cold air leh when i turn the knob to 1, and cant really hear that sound ( dunno how to describe but most or all cars have when u station your car and air con on, something like a 'tuck' sound, once a while like something kicking-in and the fan suddenly like go faster at a higher speed, thermostat is it? aint sure) and therefore i went to Tomika Ubi. Attended to me by a moustache skinny guy and he say nothing wrong, topped up gas and left, monitor lor since he say ok, end of part 2... yesterday drove home after 2 days from Tomika, at night on air con and drove, for a while cold then after maybe 10 mins of driving suddenly no more cold air again, blowing normal temp air and as i turned right there was this sound from the central air con vent, like flowing water sound, similar to u holding a half filled mineral water bottle and turning it upside down side ways, sloshing sound-liked. Then i turned up to 2 and drove while and turned to 1 again, reached my place and suddenly cold again, sheesh!!! what could be the problem? any idea? fuse? air con filter? magenetic air con clutch? compressor?

Bro, you mentioned intermittent cold, then most probably the compressor clutch. Try running around for a few more days,hopefully, the engine heat will dry up the magnetic clutch. Good luck! PS: QQ Spec R?ke..ke..ke....

currently air con is back to normal, hopefully, fingers crossed, the problem would not return... car coming to 4 years already, any preventive measures to ensure air con run smoothly other than no rev high when on air con?

Ya man. Me too tend to overlook on air con maintenance. Most of the time take care of engine only....

Bro, you can prolong the compressor by ensuring a proper lubrication with the correct amount of compressor oil inside. Not too much and definitely not less.It would be good if you replace the oil accordingly.Make sure you replace the filter dryer when doing your yearly servicing and replace the expansion valve atleast bi-yearly.For evaporator and condenser, not much you can do as they are mostly wear and tear. Just my 2 cents

Post by Mat Tidak on Jul 8, 2010 8:37:53 GMT 8
yup... 12-13 bucks only.... will take pic of the shop from far and post it here. Bro LMF - to ensure longevity of the air con... convert to inverter aircon (very easy clean here and wipe here) like jack neo say
