I've heard from my source, France is pushing for compressor recall. 208 & 508 compressor recall already on going. 408 compressor recall anytime soon. From their reply its clear its just a matter of time.

Now I'm not sure to replace my compressor with recond unit or new unit.. Later change new unit suddenly Recall.. doh.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

I don't know how reliable it will be. I've thought of this as an interim measure. When 408 compressor recall is approved, then get changed. I've been waiting for this recall for 2 months already. But cant take it any more, very hot to drive without air con,esecially if stuck at traffic jams.

Tried looking for recon compressor, could not find any. Last week out of desperation changed the compressor + condenser. Total cost $3850/-. There are cheaper places if you source around.

Quoted by SGwang at RM8++ on the recond unit only. Not include labor charges + vacuum + etc..

Was thinking to change to recond unit since later recall will replace to new unit. However scared recond unit not reliable later in no time konged balik..

Change to new unit suddenly Recall and replace the compressor. So rugi change to new unit..

Dilemma.. bangwall.gif bangwall.gif

No worry on this cos cannot use other brand, it will not fit. From attachments to wiring are different. Therefore the recon compressor has to be Denso.

Recon or new.. Recon or new..

Cash ready but Raya is near.. rclxub.gif

I’m a 408 NA (2.0) owner who will reach 5 years on August 2017. I’ve done my 110k km service last month and experienced warranty replacement of aircond cooling coil & aircond blower motor (both in the final year of extended warranty).

Now after my warranty expires later in next few months, should I maintain service at Peugeot branch SC as they have all the records? Or should I go outside for cheaper option? Not sure about compressor recall for 408 NA whether applicable to expired warranty. If so, is it necessary for me to maintain service at Peugeot branch SC?

Where is the best outside service centre in Klang Valley? Hope they are way cheaper than usual at Peugeot branch SC.

servicing part i go kajang there.. MZ auto specialist for peugeot/citroen. Owner Mr. Zakaria..

Spare part i buy euromotive (brake pad/wiper/etc)

now still thinking where to go for compressor and condenser.. rclxub.gif

Hahaha......i'd say go for recon bro. I believe recall for compressor for 408 will start in 2months. Use the recon compressor till year end. I think it will last till then, Dec get the new compressor. If the recon fails earlier, no problem for you, got new one waiting
*
Finally decided to go for new compressor unit and condenser replaced today.. So no need pening2 later..

Just want to give one tip.. This is the lesson that i get today and i'm fully regret it..!!

There's some difference for condenser+receiver drier between 408T and 408NA..

For Turbo the receiver drier (filter) on the condenser cannot be changed thus shop will request to change the condenser 1 set..

For NA the receiver drier can be change every 20k service cycle. Hence to prolong your compressor, PLEASE MONITOR AND CHANGE YOUR RECEIVER DRIER FREQUENTLY.

Sedih woo burned money just like that for my not-so-familiar-knowledge-about-aircond..

I visited Sg Wang Aircond shop (Jalan Ipoh) to check on my compressor (starting to have knocking noise) and was quoted above. Mine was 408 2.0. Compressor is Sanden.

They recommend to change condenser OEM as well which have Receiver Drier (for easier maintenance in future). They said our original do not have Drier. I think it act as filter in A/C.

Any thought?

Charge extra? Last I get RM2730 after nego.. Hmmmmm..

I have checked the compressor price:

Sg Wang Car Accessories: As picture above for new unit.. RM2000++ for recond compressor + condenser + labor + vacuum + flushing + etc

Econstand Jln Tun Razak: RM1850 compressor only with 6 months warranty. Condenser RM650++

Euromotive Sg Besi: RM1300 compressor only (installation sendiri pasang) not sure on warranty

Peugeot SC: RM6000 - not sure compressor only or all together which is condenser / cooling coil / compressor

MZ Auto Kajang: Estimated RM5000 all together with dismantle dashboard

There you go.. Sorry for put up the price.. Because stress about the aircond before but now never been happier..

Price may vary depends on how u gosok the workshop owner punya peha.. I've done mine.. tongue.gif

That's good info bro. I too will service my air con every 20k. Probably the reason for my compressor failure. 2 years ago SC just fixed the noise from my compressor. No servicing was done. This time I also learnt a dirty condenser can spoil the compressor, which I think is what happened in my case. Although THP can't change drier, but still can service.

Yes bro.. regardless change or not, service is the key..
