Thanks for all the inputs. Really helps a lot on my current situation. Gonna get it checked on this coming Thursday and hope that there aren't too many problems with it.
I agree a 100% that most lady drivers don't give a shiet about their car, so long it doesn't break down. I actually found a bulu ayam when I opened the hood, fken lol.
But I think there isn't much to complain for RM5k. Hope all's well.

Wonder where does this bulu ayam comin =.=

engine mounts worn out, hence u feels harsh or vibraring when in idle. 2-300 to replace

need help: price for a whole air cond system replacement or some parts? thanks.

whole air cond system replacement with brand new original denso parts is around 2.2-2.4k including labor.

which part you want/need?

Last time was changed one air-cond compressor brand Denso at RM1250 including labor cost and add-in gas

Hi all...
Can I know how much if I do overhaul engine?
currently use my dad car near to 24 year old

2-3k+ for a rebuild

Ok...thank for reply

last time how much u change d ori compressor? mine r dying. oil starts coming out..lol.

compressor is 700-800 not including the magnetic clutch component

thanx guys. i was advised by the mechanic to change all the parts: comp, condenser, hoses, tabung, valve etc. he quoted me 1.5k something. i use the car from 2003, had the car since 1999. manufactured 1992. never had to overhaul n aircond also never serviced. hehe. my bad. one more question:
can i use 2nd-hand parts from iswara? thanks a lot ya guys.

please don't simply change, wrong spec air cond would make the entire system worse.
if it isn't broken/faulty, i repeat: DO NOT change.

for parts, depends on what parts, however majority (if not all) of LMSS/LMST/saga/iswara parts can be shared

according to the mechanic, the compressor out, tabung gas rusty, valve also out n all the rust have gone into the condenser if i'm not mistaken. he said have to change the whole system like installing a new one. if compatible with iswara i might as well find used ones cos out of my budget oredi.

consider second opinions

original air cond parts are that expensive. and usually they last the lifetime of the car if taken care well

this

Please go get a second opinion, mine is well over 10 yrs old and still working. I would be suspicious of anyone telling me to change ALL parts, what kind of diagnosis is this???

yeap, had such experience on the iswara, and even the kancil having out of spec air cond replaced to it.

original parts can be serviced (flushing, cleaned with solvents/chemicals etc) and only if it is damaged/leaking then a replacement is needed.

again, i have suspicion of them wanting your parts, and i have my own experiences so yes please do get 2nd opinions

tell them you need to keep back the faulty parts even after replacement, see what they say

they don't lose much also, since they still earn from replacing their parts for you and labor charges.

regardless, these days i pretty much request to keep all my faulty parts since i tend to do post mortem on them
as such, my home is now a junk yard filled with used/faulty car parts

ic...
mine alrady start leakin..


change aircond shop...
