if I were to do it, I better get the parts myself from genuine part dealers.
usually outside aircon service workshop only provide OEM.

so I googled and went to a nearby aircon specialist that looks professional.
feel good as when I drive over at 3pm even though its getting hot, the aircon was very cool (cooler than usual but maybe whole morning raining).

asked to service and don't feel much issue except when its 12pm noon and aircon wont feel as strong.
the main foreman say "ok..but we usually do a round of check first coz if got issue, servicing it don't really solve any issues".

i was okay with it.
so they did check and based on the machine. they are able to to recover only 26x (not sure what unit of measurement) of gas. foreman said from spec our city should have 480.
that is like almost half gas gone 

he gave me two options.
rm300 to service (that's including replacing the dryer receiver, thanks Thrust for educating me  )
or
rm100, replace with new gas up to 480 after they have recovered the old gas, and add UV dye to check where is the leak.

decided to go for rm100.

he said from checks cant really know if there is leak or from where. and for our model, usually its the cooling coil but he cant confirm unless to do the UV dye.
i did ask the price of cooling coil replacement he said its about rm1.8k all ori parts plus labor, plus the services.

let's see how it goes for now. but 26x out of 480 recovered really a bit shocking.

from record, I last replaced the magnetic clutch 2 years ago on April.

always good to hear from you!
yeah. some online review said this shop is expensive but many was giving good review too. it didn't plan to do anything major there. just asking for a reference.
the reason why I choose this shop is coz they have proper machine to extract gas, and more up to date tools.

i am now thinking to get a UV torchlight to check closely if there is any leakage.
lets see how. like you said over time it may reduce and the car is 9 years already.

if i have to topup gas every 2 years. its not that bad as a "fix".

Hi TMO Members , i have a question here our gearbox got any gear filter ???? Please advice & thanks

Yesterday was not a good test day as i fixed at about 4pm and it was raining the whole morning. Lets see the next few days.

Having said that, when the dial is on 1, don't feel much diff. But when i put on 2, can feel alot diff. Much cooler.

To those who followed me on my previous gearbox issue. Guess what.

I went to jyunsei honda genuine stockist to purchase atf oil and the packaging i received looks the same where a shopee seller said is fake and the same packagin that i bought which has issue. Lol.

Since its jyunsei, though i bought from them for the first time, im going to trust them.

Btw, they are selling engine oil filter for rm25. Quite pricey. I thought its around rm15?

Well. My rm5 free shipping uv light from shopee arrived yesterday.

Im no expect but i checked the engine bay. Trace the line as much as possible and check the engine bay in general, the only thing reflecting back light is the white clips that they use to tied cables all around the bay.

This is after 4 days after the topup gas and uv dye. So far, good news.

I did think if my light is okay and try it on money notes but unfortunately the last time i play with uv light on notes may have been 20 years ago with the older notd design.

I was expecting to see a very visible governor figure with uv light but apparently not. But i do see the monetary value and some lines after i shine the uv light. Maybe notes design different nowadays. Make me realize nowadays no cashier or shop bothered with uv lights anymore nowadays.

Hello sifu,

Do you guys drain your coolant or just top up on to it?

Thanks.

anyone replaces the rubber seal part of the window areas? What are the cost?

Is it easy to replace?

what's your mileage on the ATF when changing ?
mine close to 20k soon will replacing it together with normal engine oil change .

Mine bought from Shopee but not Honda ATF
im using fully synth ATF from Penrite, so no issue just only wish to change it due to near 20k mileage

The one i use is about Rm200 for 4L 

My TMO gear oil change always done in Honda SC but the weird thing is the services advisor never ask me to change gear filter b4 ???

Wondering why since 2013 till now ???

Oh but how come ah ? Honda want us to replace gearbox after 200K ? purposely ???

Hi, I want to ask whether it will be harmful to the car engine if I replace the engine oil once in 10 months? Because I could not drive up to 10,000 km within 6 months. Thanks

So, if I don't drive much. Engine oil replacement every 10 months and ATF replacement once a year is still fine right?

Btw what engine oil and where you all get it from?

Currently on 5w30 shell helix hx8 from giant. But it is SL spec instead of SN. This is my last bottle in my inventory.

Previously one 5w30 molygen liqui moly from paul hew as well.
Seems he is trustable then. Next I'll get back from him perhaps.

Previous previous one also hx8 but change earlier.

Most of the time prior to this was still on honda oil.

Anyone knows if there is any Honda workshop with good workmanship and reasonable price? Location: around Bandar Sunway. Thanks
