A lot with no experience will just trial and error. Eventually you are the one paying for them to gain experience. I kena before, change this, change that, one by one change but the problem is not solved. Lucky I gentlemen still pay because he got ask me permission before change. Maybe he see I kecil want to tipu or senang bully.

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

simple.
Because people don't know how aircond works.

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.

Check the valve, cooling coils and compressor for leakages.

Compressor has internal moving parts which has fluids that needs to be replaced. It’s prudent to have it replaced every year or once every 2 year. I learn this the hard way with my first car. Most workshop will tell you if your car aircon is still cold, then no need to service. But most won’t tell you if it’s not cold then something is seriously wrong already.

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

Rule no.1 never go to normal car workshop

Rule no.2 always go to repair CAR AIRCOND ONLY

True story went to 3 workshop all talking rubbish quoted 1k++ then luckily forumer asked go aircond shop quoted <200 fixed the thing cooler than before🤭

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

Perodua uses Sanden in the old days and back then Perodua SC also sent the cars to Sanden for servicing…Sanden is quite reliable and I dont find any issue with it … that was my experience with them ages ago.

If an air cond shop asked u to come back every year for service u know well that they are dishonest .. That is how u filtered out the good and bad ones ..

My regular air cond shop even allowed me to buy my own receiver drier … They also dont even change the cabin air filter all the time …

Actually a lot car shops are like this especially if you look clueless and helpless. Repeat visits ensures them money.

Hard to find a trustworthy shop these days. Need word of mouth.

there's a reason proton moved from denso to sanden and perodua on the other hand moved to denso

the 3 honest a/c aircond i went always recommend coming back every year for regular service...not major service
they even has a sticker for it...not just words of mouth

simply use common sense, if your house a/c also service every year...why won't your car?

Remember there is no such thing as top up gas for AC.

If you need to top up gas, then there is a leak.

In some cases, refilling gas every 2 months is cheaper than fixing the problem. Imagine, we sent to repair, it cost around rm1k above. After a year or so, rosak lagi.

Refill gas only around rm50-rm60. If refill every 2 month, one year cost rm300 to rm360 only.

only perodua seem to have such issue laugh.gif

I am with the group that dont service AC... just regularly clean filter only.
AC use 100% and mostly recirculate the air, so its cleaner.
