The leaking part, how do you know? What’s the symptom? I have not replace before.

When it starts to leak, you can sort of smell the refrigerant (smells like weird plastic chemical) when you turned on the aircond. After 1 minute, you won't smell it.

Within few days or weeks, your aircond will blow hot air later.

Thanks - cooling coil never replaced and car is from 2011.
No issues with cooling the cabin when air cond is turned on, just that it smells bad like damp cloth)

As a minimum I think need to service or check the air cond system

You can go and do an aircond service my removing the cooling coil and cleaning it.. When you do so, do inspect the condition of the coil as it is more than 10 years old and high chances it will leak refrigerant sooner or later..

Items to look out for is also the expansion valve and the receiver drier.

Where are you staying? I can recommend you my trusted aircond man if you are around Old Klang Road / PJ area.

Thank you yes will do that, I’m near OKR would appreciate recommendations please

Google it.

I found the leak.. seems like previously I changed the bottom casing but the installation of the casing gasket wasn't done properly, thus there are small leaks at rhat area. Will need to send back to the shop to get it repaired again.

finally my ac blower motor gave way.
the only problem is that it gave way just when i'm about to start my journey back from cameron to kl.
3 hours ride, in cameron keep raining, and on highway its cloudy, left the 1 hour remaining the weather is a bit more warm.

grateful the family doesn't complain much.

went to ming wah on monday. damage rm310, boss say need change filter coz dirty. usually i replace myself but was like wtheck nevermind la. give boss a bit more. rm20 only consider cheap by outside mechanic standard.

now very happy. feel like its colder now. maybe previously motor has already been spinning slower than new for a long time.

edit: wtheck, i still have 2 filters in stock at home lol.

sold mine back in March this year, mileage clocked at 192k
jump ship to EV.

been contemplating to keep as backup car but stay in condo has limited carpark
and only me alone here so decided to sell off this car despite that it's low in maintenance.

Normally for AC blower, i will change the motor together with the resistor.

Bad decision ever made.. 😝

Should have kept it as spare car as when EV have problems, most likely you can't the car.

weyyyy
still got gf car to use just in case 😂

Anyone encounter buzzing noise when you're about to turn the key to start the engine?

Sometimes. But only if I turn the key very slow. Usually if fast get turn (like normal) then never notice has sound.

Just wanted to ask that what is your interval on replacing your city's ATF ?

2 years or 20k km. Depending on my mood at that time. I need to replaced mine very soon.

Thanks for the info
mine replaced before last year CNY, now the oil life at 33k and oil color from pinkish turn into dark maroon liquid
maybe time to hit hingan

yeah. better.
i got AT oil online once, had some issue with gearbox grinding, never again lol.

but ATF oil also increased a lot. i remembe last time in the beginning its about rm22 per bottle, nowadays 30 plus

I used alot of name brand ATF oil before even 4L for RM250 still cannot fix the jerky issues, only genuine ATF oil from Honda stockist solved it.
price increase all blame the russia faults hahaha
even the oil filter and air filter price also hike ...
