Around there, but could be cheaper.

Also check if condenser is still solid or starting to have metal fatigue (crispy fins).

I changed compressor then had to repair again 5 months later, condenser cracked near receiver dryer side.

theres actually a shop repair compresor,just rm 100 thats where they got the recond
but mechanic wont tell u...all mau $$$

Went ahead to change the compressor and the drier. Some China brand but new one, not ori Denso parts. Total damage including labour charges was 750. Boleh lah.. First time change in 6 years.. habis balik modal lol

an update to my earlier post:
solved my aircond compressor problem by changing to a New Denso compressor, New Denso condenser, New Denso blower motor. luckily went to this aircond shop in Tmn Maluri, Cheras (recommended by a friend) early before the compressor got worst. after the shop sifu dismantled the spoilt compressor he noticed got some light contamination only. he advised to replaced the condenser as well. he also did a thorough flushing of the system before installing the new compressor & condenser.
as for the noise of the aircond blower inside the cabin, he separated the fin from the motor and saw water mark & rust in the motor. he suspected that the previous shop dipped the whole unit inside water to washed the fin. please refer to the photo for better understanding.
for those who need a trustworthy shop to check the aircond, do pm me. not only i found he is honest but he did a good job. the previous shop has also spoilt the sponge which function to direct the outside air to blow at the condenser. he helped to custom made for me for free. while he was installing back the new blower motor to the car, he saw the casing which house the cooling coil is dusty. he said the previous shop did not even bother to wash away the dust since they opened it to changed the cooling coil earlier.
finally, thumbs up.  :thumbsup:
