West_end Neutral Newbie July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 There's the car maintenance manual to refer to, else get an opinion from the car A/C mechanic. You may wish to check out this workshop at Sin Ming: http://www.thegreenbook.com/companies/winn...motor-services/ Engaged their services years ago and find their workmanship to be reliable with reasonable charges. Give them a call to see how they can help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5936 1st Gear July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 (edited) Car air on is closed circuit system. Should not leak or need replenishing,,unless there is a leak. Usually from joints or condenser. If you really want to change refrigerant and compressor oil, go to a workshop that uses the BOSCH aircon diagnosis machine. Mechanic just connect the 2 hoses, select from touch screen vehicle model, and tasks required . Such as complete recovery and top up, machine will take over all jobs (recover, vacuum, refill oil, R134a. I like the way the stepped vacuum tests are done, less stress on aircon. All refilled to manufacturer spec. Edited July 22, 2012 by 5936 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5936 1st Gear July 25, 2012 Share July 25, 2012 Price may be higher but not out of reach or unreasonable. Most importantly must be serious quality and attentive service. Of course there are other workshops around, but I will try 'Meister Wxxxx' again to test out their business values, culture.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieSialo Neutral Newbie August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 I think 80$ is not at all bad if they provide a good all round maintenance service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick77 Neutral Newbie October 15, 2012 Share October 15, 2012 Hi bros, I'm a newbie so can't start new thread but would like to know if it's possible to install rear air con if our car doesn't come with one? Thinking of those thats usually available on continental cars. When I mean possible, I mean the cost is not like you'd rather buy a new car type.
