Dear fellow forumers.

My Perodua Kelisa aircond failed recently, only hot air comes out of the aircond.

Sent to workshop, they say must change compressor.

They said compressor is RM200 only, but cannot change compressor alone, as other parts are faulty as well.

Those other parts are condensers and other pipings, total up to RM1,200.

I would like to know, does this RM1,200 for aircond repair make any sense?

Depending on the parts n how many parts....but typically when aircond goes kaput, prepare abt rm1k +/- to get it fixed...

I myself just spent 1.1k on my kenaris aircond....compressor + cooling coil + misc.

Ex-kelisa also the same....cost me 1k+

Just make sure to get the same compressor...ie oem...recond...anything else ur engine will be very heavy when ac is turned on

I see. Thanks dor the reply.

Wuuu I guess this is the downside of having an old car.

I just checked in perodua...kelisa air cond compressor manual is rm 1490. Gosh. Mine also problem ready. Sent to hinly in pj to service compressor. Air cond is cold but car feels heavy when compressor kick in and it's noisy.

air con repairs is not cheap. that's why people go for periodic maintenance.

air con compressor = RM200 ?

recond or 2nd hand ?

if have budget . go for ori and new part . dont go for recond .
recond set wont last long . all is depends on luck .

bro. i faced the same prob
my kelisa air con starts to blow warm air when idling.
i changed many items n now its consistently cold. if necessary i will cari old bills and post here? or is your air con issue ady resolved?

Is not already resolved.

I'm not whether the over Rm1k is the right amount or I kena chop.

si have you changed the air con parts by now? what parts did you change?

ive changed to recon set before cost me around 700+ but im not sure whats other parts the mech change for me

yes, i also forgot what i have changed 2 months ago. i think i changed compressor and condensor (a thicker one) and cleaned the connecting hose to the condensor. now the air con is acceptably cold.

I very recently had this problem with my 12 yr iswara. Check your aircond fan, most likely the issue has got to be this.

You can get it changed for abt 100++, or get genuine for ard RM200 only.

Hope this helps

i was told that when air con starts to blow warm air, check if the fan is running. ya maybe the fan not working all the time.

Guys...try this shop...they have proper equipment and the boss is very friendly.

Hmm,my air cond got replaced with recond type,changed everything except the cooling coil,seem ok even if it is recond ...reason the aircond broke down due to oil leak from engine,the oil got into the compressor and the whole air cond system stuff got rosak..well,everything cost me rm800+,the pomen advised to fix the oil leak problem or the air cond cn broke down again and the warranty is for 3month onle for recond compressor..well do to my stupidity and ignorance of the pomen advice,after 9 months, now the aircond rosak again...argh...bocor kocek again..hmm...need to fix the oil leak fisrt lah..hv to depend on the natural source for coolling now..adoiyai...

Which part of the engine is leaking?..

Try send to another workshop for a second opinion. Maybe u do not need to change the whole thing

try go to shop in tengkera..infront/across the famous MEE BODO....the uncle is OTAI..

hai.. i juz wanna asking u guys which hv many experienced in cars..hihi.. my kelisa aircond is cold and still okey, but the problem is the compressor was very noisy, before its not sound like that, it is the compressor problem or belting? please somebody help me

How can we advice when not only did we not hear the sound, but you yourself also are not sure where the noise is coming from? It could be the belt or compressor.

My kelisa air-cond also very noisy. Sometime ok, but sometimes not. Let say if i hit the bump on the road or something, the aircond will start to make noise. Need to turn off the aircond first, then turn it back on, only then the noise will be gone. But the noise will come again when i drive past uneven road. Advise me please.

im sure its the compressor..because when i open the aircond, the noise is very loud...but when i closed the aircond, the noise is completely gone, but im not sure either the compressor is damage or the belting is not properly adjusted,

1k to 1.2k for major aircond recondition is acceptable..
but does it really need to that recondition?
kelisa is not that old car which need to recondition?

usually what is changed? mine also almost... dunno the exact price.. but it;s rm1k+

That day juz put gas and the next day all gone.it is cooling coil or condensor problem?confirm is leaking

rm200 is a recond unit. that is purely luck to get good one...so...if you ok with the price, go ahead. new unit is at rm600 range.

piping no need change la. if really change piping, means they downgrade or upgrade your air cond compressor edi. if downgrade, they earn more, if upgrade, you loss power.

condenser mayb need, if have leaking. when i had my kelisa, the condenser is leaking, i still use it. 9months fill in gas 1 time, i still can accept it.

the filter, located at the front, need to dismantle bumper to access. that one need abit work.

other than that, no need change one la. i would say about 800-1000 shud get it done. using re-cond compressor.

why not survey few more shops? look for shops with lots of car and got old old people inside. they more reasonable.

mayb your air cond belt loose edi. try tightening first.

if you know how to differentiate loose air cond belt sound, then it would be easier. if not, at cold start up, rev your engine, if you hear sharp screething sound, then its a loose belt.

if not loose belt problem, better bare with it bcos air cond service expensive.

its nearing to the end of life, but as long as no oil leaks from the compressor, and still cold, use first lo.
