I changed compressor at around 170k km even though I believe it can still survive 1 year (air-con giving noise due to this for nearly 1 year).
One thing to take note, periodic / annually service air-con does last longer but be prepared to fork out RM 500 - 1,000 ++ per service (mine one including labour to change spare parts).
However, I do notice an unusual jerking in speed more than 60km/h, can be 80km/h or 100k/h, I do feel a short and quick jerking sometimes worry that the car might sudden stops at that speed. So far the jerking is quite sudden and recover if I continue accelerate. This jerking is more noticeable when cornering or I cruise at certain speed and release the fuel pedal. Anybody encounter this? If this is the early symptoms of gearbox failure, I think I have to change my car soon. My friend told me is due to torque converter (orifice stuck).
Mind to share aircond giving what kind of noise?
Annually service aircond include labour & spare parts RM500-1,000... do you mean changing the aircond cooling coil/evaporator, valve etc.?
Mind to share where you usually service your GL?
(...looking for more choice of workshop.)
Jerking part seem scary, at close to 170k km now, i have not encounter yet (touch wood....)
