this coming Saturday i can update you whether the workshop im going honest or not. coz they say its cooling coil. LOL
*
all the honest a/c shop i went before all have something similar
all of them will have some expensive luxury rare car inside waiting to be serviced
shop will never look neat...in fact full of used spare parts here and there and everything looked old school

thn u google them, they don't have much review at all but sometimes you'll see some rare car pictures...and all reviews are good but very few

Are they even qualified to rectify your problem....😅

they are qualified and know where is the problem.
but they just want to bring you around the park.
so that they eat you freshly.

They are not bro. They’re guessing each time.
Only a proper service centre has actually fixed anyones aircond problems

depends what car
the a/c shop of course recommend service every year but nobody really follows that
in fact i know a majority of people don't service their a/c until something eventually fail

perodua should service more often due to their reliability issue
every 2-3 years should service
proton a/c, for my own car...1st service is at the car's 9th year

workshops are a gamble we sometimes take

usually we're in a kinda emergency situation depending on the issue at hand and generally want a quick fix, can do homework seek best workshop but...at times just whack go look for a decent looking mechanic

heard an almost same AC problem story firsthand from an Almera (1st gen) owner, had to visit same shop many times over n over cos already invested so much for earlier repairs

this Nissan mmg femes ke for AC problem?
or we're dealing with lemons here, nampak macam x

Gas never need to top up. Usually due to leaking cooling coil or valve.

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Jun 11 2024, 02:11 PM)
stop going to dishonest a/c shop

and stop thinking when your a/c is not cold, it's top up gas
for example ask yourself when is the last time you service your a/c 1st

QUOTE(conan1 @ Jun 11 2024, 02:39 PM)
aku tak faham kenapa korang asik nak topup aircond gas

korang tak tau ke closed loop system?

kalau gas tak ckup, sure leaking

leaks = fix the leaking first
*
So my axia 8 years already, 50k mileage, never did any service

I thought must go change gas lol

So now what should I do? Just go ask them change compressor oil and that's all?

Cooling still got, just that I don't think it's good. But still got lah

I don't know if should take risk and go service, sometimes if touch already, then will have more problems.

I thought just give to perodua sc to do, basic a/c serv, but they don't let us in.. so what they do also, can't see.

if someone owns an almera...it's not the shop's problem already

that car's a/c is known to be unreliable
it is so unreliable, a/c shop stock parts for that car laugh.gif

first thing they ask you to top up, you think they don't know your aircond is leaking? LOL

they just took your low hanging fruits (not literally haha)
because they know, you'll come after a week.

then they will say, try change this first. then next, then next,

In fact they know, the only main places it will leak are, compressor, cooling coil and condenser.

Trust me...i had been their victim.
I have spent thousands, over multiple cut throat shops.

a/c is same as car...got minor service and major service
minor service is basic cleaning and flush out the old gas and put in new gas

major service is like what u say change the compressor oil and everything

never take back to official SC, official SC don't have a/c expert
few thing u don't send back SC to do = tyre, brake, alignment, wipers, a/c
SC don't have alignment expert and a/c expert

First my problem is aircond less cool

OK so I'm thinking just top up gas je

Go kedai at Shah Alam near Nissan service sg rasau
.first he told me carbon filter need change, then Oklah. Tukar. Tukar orifinal

Then, tomorrow. When I planned to go trx with my family, suddenly no aircond at all. Yet, much worst. No gas at all. At least yesterday, got a bit cool, just lesser

So bring again to the same shop. Then he check aiyoyo got leaking. Leaking at port where u refill gas. OK problem fix.

Tiba2 they said compressor rosak pula. Wtf..... U can't identify big problem at first place. One by one rosak, n get worst... How to trust like this
*
been there, done that.

thats what u get for neglecting ac maintenance.

1 by 1 rosak. at the end i just change whole set (except for blower motor)

Last time got one LYN-er recommended this one shop in PJ that can repair compressor near Menara MBPJ. Went there and try. No regret. But that was super long time ago dunno if the shop still there.

this workshop moved to PJ old town, not sure they still maintain their standart or not, sent my car to replace cooling coil 2 years ago during mco time.

i would recommend major service instead due to your car is a perodua

depends how often you use your a/c also
same as car...your car also every year change oil...so how can your compressor oil be lasting 5-9 years and expecting it not to fail? laugh.gif

fixed my car aircon about two weeks ago, car aircon not cold. checked, no 'tak' sound. pomen mentioned he afraid magnetic clutch rosak, asked me if it is okay to disassemble to confirm, i ok jer. about 2 hours (I think?) later, all done, the pulley system replaced, overhaul the compressor terus, replace the gas (opened the system sure gas go out no?). RM 500.00 cun. Not sure price ok or not because first time atur aircon but it's a great service by the pomen (the way he layan me, explain to me what happened, why it happened, what need to do and compare old vs new component). He also said many bengkel sometimes takes shortcut and terus say compressor rosak instead of trying to check what is the real problem
