Hi folks,

My condenser was hit by a rock (on the north south highway - driving at ~110 kmh n god knows how). The gas leaked and now the ac not functioning. Took HM today and since it was natural 'disaster', its not covered by warranty. The condenser need to replaced and the quoted me MYR1842...excluding labor and etc.  cry.gif Tried welding at a friends place, but due to its thin and fragile material, they failed to stop leakage after trying for 5 hrs

After googling, found out some US stores sells it in range of USD110-150. But am not sure if its ori. Shipping to Malaysia is another USD150. Its still cheap compared to price from HM, but am worried if :
a) Custom duty or etc authority problem
b) Specification diffs with US model since they have heater too and condenser could be different. - (although am novice but I doubt its different if I ask 2010 Insight model part)
c) Online deal overseas
d) Duration to deliver

E.g. http://www.klcpartsinc.com/Condensor-Condenser_30.html

Please advise or provide some suggestions. (Am exhausted after driving in puchong road in a hot day without AC)  icon_question.gif

  From what i m reading, insight parts & maintaining this car is not cheap plus its not easy to maintain. Everytime must go to H SC which will take up time and will cost a bomb.

My current car, the SC will come to pick up the car & deliver after service, H Wergo don't have this policy.

Has any owner service (normal service) this car outside authorised SC?

Does anyone know the theft rate (stolen rate) of the Insight? or is this a cold Honda?

Added on August 9, 2011, 12:20 amsave on petrol but paid high price on parts & service? is this the insight way?
Owning a Honda regardless is a CKD or CBU, the price of parts and maintenance is not that far different. My wife owned a 2007 Honda City. Parts that been replaced before cost a bomb too. Changed a pair of rear bearing cost RM 9++ after discount. 12V Battery cost RM 2++, brake pad front and rear RM 600 to 700, irridium spark plugs RM 6++ and etc.

Did you check how much is a Honda City condenser? It may cost around that price too I'm not sure........so owning a insight CBU or CKD city, civic and so on.....is the same....

I know a person who replaced his nazakia forte front bumber. Cost him RM2K including paint......

Just a quick question. boot lamp/auto lock, sound systems, changing speaker, all of these involve the wiring. Won't it void the car warranty if we do it?

I've checked with cobra regarding an alarm upgrade to auto lock system. They advice not to touch or modify it, because Honda will void the warranty. Cobra advice wait till warranty period over before upgrading.

you guys can check this place out. Reasonable price and good quality work. Did leather rap on my old car seat very good

http://www.centralcushion.com.my

I asked before regarding steering rap. They said they have to dismantle the steering to rap it. So decided not to take the risk.
