Get them to repair / replace under warranty. If they try to push or delay then you ask to speak to their manager. Reason it out with them. How to drive without AC in SG climate?

Sdf4786k Twincharged December 20, 2018 Share December 20, 2018 Hi Thanks for your detailed explanation. My previous car 1.8 litre, CVT transmission, hit 100km/h at 1750 rpm. It is good to know more on this car (Elantra) on the performance characteristics. Hyundai and kia are slightly different from say a nissan cvt. Thereis significant engineering in there which seems to drive better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMFChia 1st Gear December 20, 2018 Share December 20, 2018 2 yrs die already. So fast? Are you a high mileage driver? Local fitted air con? Basic or S? Hi, my previous car was a japanese PI car. I used to let the engine idle and run the air-con for an hour or so, as I had my first child who liked to nap in the car. Within 3 years, the compressor started to give problems, after refrigerant leaked from one of the valves. After replacing the valve and topping up refrigerant, it was ok. But every year or so, I had to top up refrigerant. Finally, the car air-con specialist workshop recommended replacing the whole air-con compressor, pipings and condenser, then the leak problem went away. The technician also recommended switching off air-con a minute or two before reaching destination and just run in fan mode, to remove condensation on cooling coils to prevent mold and bad smells.

To be expected lar... your aircon is extracting heat but as your car is stationary, the heat extracted has nowhere to go... so it builds up inside the bonnet and all the relevant rubber and silicone gaskets and seals will all get worn out faster... your compressor is running on maximum power to keep the car cool as a result... sure die faster lar...

Been doing that for years since i met my wife and have kids. Altis changed compressor etc at 5 years old. My current car just about 4 years, bo taichi. I don't really think it's an issue at all. To have no AC problems in our climate over a lifespan of a car is just heng suay. If Idling is an issue here in singapore, i guess cars would just die in 40 degree weather in Middle east and Texas etc? Summers in other countries, easily is 37-38 degrees one.

Will KMC refuse to use it as it is not the recommended Shell 5w-40? No issue they will use your oil but they will charge you for the oil filter change unless you bring your own as well. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
