Lets see how long it will last, so far this ford haven't let me down, drive shaft / wheel bearing / alternator still the original haven't been replace before and still in good condition. Only change engine oil / dct oil / filter / power steering oil / shock absorber / lower arm.

That's why national closed shop oledi

SC sell u new one, take the faulty unit and sell to outside workshop, workshop rebuild and sell again

Mana ada like that brother. SC always give you back the faulty unit, unless when they change it for free during warranty period, at least that is the practice in Toyota SC Shah Alam.

Well it is Panasonic now

my kelisa year 2003 still using the original air compressor that it came with

other cars, vios 5 years and second set had been 10 years and still working fine

Compressor service cost around 200. If you skip it, depends on your luck la. Can last 8 years, can also kaput within 5 years. Sometimes compressor still ok but cooling coil broke and leak because of it, will cost around 1k to fix everything.

how do they service aircond and compressor? Does service center usually service it when it's periodic car service?

It depends how is the service.

If cabut coil out to wash and refill gas, it will damage even faster than not service it at all.

SC officially do not service a/c...they don't even have a specialist who do a/c servicing or repair

so the question is still, do u service your a/c religiously?
if u don't thn don't put your expectation too high when it fail because the owner fail to service it to prolong it's lifespan

20+ years used York aircon, was already used for 3-4 years before.

This year lots of leaking and creaking even after full service.
Had to suck it up bad and buy new unit, blower & compressor pair.

service center do not service a/c nor they have a special guy there that service/repair a/c
if they did, it would also reflect at your bill as well which u will never see

the owner needs to take care of it themselves


many EPS especially p2's EPS have problem within the 1st few years
and EPS being electronic, that itself is a problem when u have problem with electricity...it's gonna jam and stop working
whereas hydraulic will not be interfere by electricity because it's not electronic...so even if the engine died or battery died, it can still turn perfectly

That what I worried.

I never service car air cond.
The moment they cabit everything, sure got problem later on.

The question all this maintenance might not give that much of extra year compared to No-Service.
