Does the air cond piping leaking in the wall covered by developer within warranty period?

I talked to the main-con and he said the warranty void because I replaced the air-cond (developer provided a default air cond which was replaced without use).
His logic, I replaced the default air cond and hence internal piping leaking no longer covered.
Apparentlly replacing air cond means you shaking shaking the air cond and hence piping leaking is your own fault.

Is there any truth in his remark?

covered under warranty but since you replaced it then warranty void.
*
but why oh?
it is like you replace lighting and the developer then accuses you of cutting the wiring somewhere in the wall which you will not be able to reach.

it is like impossible for me to break the piping internally within the wall.
if so easy break, then workmanship and material already suspicious.

aircond pipe in the wall is never a good thing. sooner or later will leak
consider surface pipe or use a pump

woot very ugly if piping for air cond run from living room to outside.....
the developer very smart-ass install air cond wiring at the middle of living room and far away from the compressor.

gotta prove that you didn't change piping.

thats what i was trying to tell him.
how lar I want to touch anything in the wall.
tak kan lar I want to hack the wall, cut a hole there and then cement back so he got a job to repair.

he like degil and not talk about common sense.
he just blanket it out - you replaced air cond - goodbye.

I can accept if it make sense but internal piping rosak because I replace air cond outside of the wall.

if anybody got such experience, can share me any valid point to talk to him.

The ac technician confirmed the leak ?

Any photos to show the leak ?
*
The the contractor that installed mine confirmed nothing to do with him.
He was not the taichi type because he actually spent time working on another ac that has some gas leak.

below air cond has dry surface and no water anywhere.
slightly over half a meter down, can see water inside the painting and water leak out of the switches due to hole/gap.

I am not sure which contractor will install the drainage pipe above the lighting switch socket.

Drainage pipe is straight down and will not leak unless there is a connecting elbow. You can try opening the ac casing cover and pour water at the mouth of the drainage pipe to see there is any blockage ... use as much water possible.

BTW, can you take a complete photo of the ac and light switches in one.
*
i tried to take the photo in 1 but then it would be difficult to see the water mark. I cant get a full picture that still able to show the water mark clearly.

there is actually another ac behind the wall of this air cond (for the living room).
i guess both air cond drainage pipe joined somewhere below and it leak there.

Simple fix without hacking is to install aircond pump which will bypass the original piping.
*
but air cond pump will result in a surface piping right flying across the room to the outside.
developer got a smart ass design the air cond location at middle of the room and living room, which is far away from the compressor.

I think it should void. Common sense.
So do one external one to avoid conflict

why void warranty?
we are not talking about sending your brand new car to workshop bawah pokok and then authorized center not provide warranty anymore.

Can the developer void your warranty of your water piping leaking, after you change your faucet?
The water piping is internal inside the wall.
So does it fit any common sense if I change the faucet or shower head and then resulting in piping burst/leak somewhere in the wall?

I replaced the air cond.
Why would that affect the piping in the wall?
I remember I saw my contractor just slotting the air cond to the drain pipe hole. How much damage can you cause to the piping somewhere in the wall by inserting the air cond hose to the slot of the drain pipe?

I know main con will use 101 excuses to cuci tangan, but at least they should come up with reason that people could accept.

I suspect is the wall copper piping touching the switch socket wires and water drip down when condensation happens during ac running time.

The ac water outlet mouth is located right or left ?
*
From the connection at the wall, i think the drain outlet go down and bend towards the door, before going down beside the door frame.
the other side of the door is a toilet, so the drain water piping should be going there.

so far still no people with experience or any solid ground why replace air cond will void the warranty on the internal piping within the wall?

maybe the main con trying to kencing me.
I am still waiting to meet the developer manager about the update/status.
the main con very confident and said when the developer send him the defect form, he confirm will reject it.
