Not those 3rd party workshop which SA just wanna earn commision from that. If you send ur car for 3rd party installation, price more or less 2k. Depends on the leather quality n material.

On the leather seat part, i did not have that option when i bought mine, but if what they are basically saying is upgrade to similar leather wrapping of 1.6 Turbo, I think i have read some 1.6 T owner said it is easily stained with sweat because of sweaty legs Can ask Bro jfcheong , SkyJack (since i think they are on line)

I do agree. If just an upgrade to 1.6T leather seat, I dont see the worthiness. To be frank, the leather seat on turbo version is not a good material to have.

QUOTE(Pogostik @ Nov 12 2013, 04:14 PM) How long it has been in that condition (not cold). If it's from day one, I think it's normal. Peugeot's cars are known for their not-so-cold air conditioner However, you might want to have it checked. Send to SC. The usual problem is leaking cooling coil. Yes, there are warranties for air conditioner parts. QUOTE(lowpro @ Nov 13 2013, 08:50 AM) yup. this part seems to be rather 'weak' but i was told that the replacement parts are of a better quality due to some running changes or sth like that. so, if you have an issue with the air cond and are still within warranty, do go see the sc soonest. thx for the information

QUOTE(Phang123 @ Nov 14 2013, 11:23 AM) thx for the information  Dear All, Thanks for the adv on leather seat...As what glenmarie sc informed me the seat will be red stitches and not the one on prince engine's unit...(but i think the material still similar except for the stitch).. Phang, I think its very easy to tell either the a/c is serving or vice versa. If you can get the coldness although it is not as powerful as oriental car, so it is okay. But if the temperature is bad, and compressors keep running w/o cut off, something not right on the system. It can be compressor, cooling coil as mentioned, leakages on piping, etc.. BTW, thanks pang....
