Aircon drainage pipe leaking. Due to poor installation of local aircon installer. Problem solved after 2 times servicing.

I only went for 1 servicing and do u tink C&C will honour my warranty for our 2nd case which is steering rack & pinion fault? Which service centre u went and which technical advisor attended to you so that he knows it's the same fault. I intend to pay a visit to them soon coz my ride over 20k mileage liaoz.

Seems like a lot is due to aircon problems. Cos their local aircon sub-contractors tends to do a sloppy job. I believe, if it's the stock digital climate aircon from Korea, then the aircon "QC" will be better.
