Jamesc Hypersonic May 26, 2012 Share May 26, 2012 If your aircon not cold and the shop tells you to change compressor, get a second opinion cos maybe only the magnetic clutch need to change. Change the clutch only $200, change the whole compressor $600. :) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to L & Kim at Ubi Road 1 and the boss told me I had to change the compressor. In the end it was just the magnetic clutch. I will never go to L & Kim again.

Some even don't believe about compressor oil and the importance of changing compressor oil on regular intervals. Oh well, I'm sure their pockets are very deep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
