It is part true. The air cond is not maintenance free part. You need to pay at least RM700 to do part service that includes cleaning the coil, changing the exchange valve, cleaning the blower, replacing the oil, top up gas, replacing corroded hose and more. It would cost near to RM900-1000 if you opt to change the radiator fan motor & radiator plastic top housing. If your compressor done for, that would definitely cost RM2000. Should do it at around 30-50K mileage.
I tell you what my mechanic told me was true.
- 2006-2012 Myvi all radiator and cooling coil are single fan powered. So if the radiator fan fails, the air cond is at its mercy. You get hot air as first indicator.
- If you change the fan motor, you have to.... I SAY YOU HAVE TO change the plastic radiator top housing. That is also the weakest part of the cooling system. Constant low water in radiator expansion tank is an indicator.
No wonder my wife’s myvi SE 2008 always got problem with aircond.I tell you what my mechanic told me was true.

Replaced aircon magnetic clutch 3 times, then changed the compressor once then the radiator top plastic housing too.
Too much maintenance i must say, especially for aircond system.
