Hi all, I am driving a 2008 Proton Savvy AMT. Recently, about 4 months ago, my aircond started blowing out hot air on the middle RIGHT and RIGHT hand side of the car. I've refill my aircond gas at least 2 times in 4 months and its still hot.I suspect there's a leak somewhere or maybe even a blockage.Anyone experienced this before? Need help ASAP. tq

yeah. i think never change before. or my father didnt tell me the time he changed.

How much will they/RS auto charge for just checking for the leakage?

what mileage is your car? time to over haul the aircond system.. ready rm1k ++.. ask jiash for recommend shop..
he already did his.. most >5 year car will have prob with aircond sooner and later..

*jiash _87 search for his id, he's quite popular selling automotive parts..

Me too around that mileage..

First many mileage ago wanted to change di, but pomen said original part quality so need to change.

Added on April 30, 2012, 1:12 pmWOW 1k+?! My car mileage is close to 50k. Impossible it'll cost 1k plus just to repair aircond, thats over pricing. Any other solution guys?

My AMT cannot start again today.any recommended workshop near wangsa maju that can do the modification that can solve this problem?

car cannot start->
call your insurance company and ask for tow truck (free one)
and tow to either USJ or puchong.

to Renautech or RS Auto is it? good option to have actually, never thought of that. pay every year for insurance inclusive of the towing services, might as well use it..hahaha

thanks

I didnt kno that insurance is inclusive of towing service... haha

most of the car insurance companies includes free towing to the place of your choice
got limited how many km la. dun ask them to tow from kl to johor.

if no free, time to change

this car good or not?>>> Savvy Black
thinking to get this as budget tight

u need to testdrive first.. best if u can get a mechanic to check the engine condition..

from looks.. coolant seem not change @ dirty tank.. seat kotor + water damage already.. might need to repair sponge..

buying a 2nd hand car, u must bear in mind.. u need to put aside at least 2k.. in your case 3k cause another 10-15k need to change timing belt = rm600 roughly..

see tires also, need change or not..

*oh ya, better spare another 500 for spindle change.. if this car did not yet change it spindle.. worse case, your tire can fly away.. proton did recall for spindle change for car before 2006..

Too expensive. just go normal exhaust shop can d. Just make sure you get stainless steel pipes when replacing any section. Lasts longer than the standard ones (for 2007 above, 06 & below have better quality pipes for some reason)

Definitely ditch the cat, replace it with bulltet. It looks something like below. If you go exhaust shop sure can see one. No need spiral or whatever crap design the shop tells you. Normal one also ok d.




Ya meh? Mine 6+ years d never had aircon problem so far (touchwood), works just fine. Just refill gas 2 times only. First time, it ran out, 2nd time because take out compressor, so have to refill. Just make sure you use "proper" gas on it and clean the blower fan every once in a while. Which reminds me, time to clean mine also.. hehe

For the 1 sided hot air problem, check piping. Most likely got blockage from compressor to inside. No need to take out everything. Most aircond shops can do this.
Jiash one was cooling coil problem, have to take out whole dashboard and replace coil. That's why so expensive..

just saying.. mine also already reach 6 year++, not yet have problem with aircond..

yes bro, thank for the enlightenment.. cooling coil prob.. sorry for the wrong info there..

Anyone here know the price for aircond compressor savvy?mine broken edy.I need to know the price so that I wont get cheated.pls help me

Hi thr, i juz gotten my 2nd hand AMT savvy baby.. This morning when i get caught inside the heavy traffic jam, suddenly come across some 'beep beep' sound from my baby. It stop when i stop, but when i move again, it sounds again. It continue for about 5 minutes, juz wonder izzit anything worng? and i think it got Dirty TDC sensor probelma also.. need to send workshop or can diy?

Hi gang, I have some news that can save you money when you service your air con

If you read my previous post, you would know that I was having air con problem where the gas was leaking very fast. It was discovered that it was the Cooling Coil (also known as Evaporator) was leaking. I think quite a number of you have suffered from this.

I have read online that most workshop charge RM400+ just for the parts and not yet the labour. The air con shop that I went to in Subang also quoted me RM400-500 just for the part.

I didn't think it would be that expensive, so I went to Proton Parts Centre (PPC) to ask for the part.

PPC only charged me RM292 for the cooling coil!!! Imagine how much the air con shop try to cut throat!!

So if you have a similar problem, go and buy the cooling coil from PPC, workmanship to fix it is quite standard everywhere I have checked, about RM400+ but at least you can save from the part

Note:

When you go to PPC, don't call it a cooling coil. In their system, this part is called an EVAPORATOR. If you say "cooling coil" sometimes they can't find what you need.

This is how the evaporator looks like:
