Suspect Aircon coil leak

[Raymondism]

Thanks, I have done so.. hope it won't leak again. Now my wife and son won't sweat while seating behind. Lol

 

meanwhile ask around aircon mechanic for price comparison lor

[Enzomatrix]

Went mark cool and ah huat checked that my aircon gas is low and suspected my cooling coil leaks and needs to replace at $400

 

the price is ard there..

 

previously my aircon not cold, went tomika ubi, quote me $200 change relay and tighten air gap at the magnetic clutch.. i drove off right away.

 

Went across to Kim auto, stood for 5mins, no one bother to entertain me.

 

Searched online and managed to locate another aircon ws in AMK industrial park 2... the bro of markcool, he was previously from markcool and left to open his own.

 

Changed my magnetic clutch there, $300 inclusive part n labour. Original denso. Checked price for part from stockist, $166 b4 gst. AD quote me $800+ for clutch inclusive labour, if add on compressor, $2.1k.

If you are not a hand-on tech and don't have the tools, suggest you give the job to those who are in this business. If you try and half way through you lost your way, chances you will end up with both pocket with very big holes - very expensive way to learn

i got a air con mechanic fren who runs "roadside" operation..

 

the last time i look for him.... he decline to change my coil cos its too troublesome... (he doesnt hv a workshop)

he only does simple things like pump gas... change tubings...change compressor....

 

he told me the rate is ard 380 to 420....

For me...if only $200 different..I will go back to Agent....As least I know it is guaranteed. ..just me...some may say every cents counts...and I do understand..

 

yap yap....i go back to my agent....they told out everything....they also change the air-con filter for me...everything end up $718.

Yours having the same symptoms also, like warm air from vent but compressor got kick-in? Top-up gas also no use?

 

[Picanto]

anyone went to karcool?

I topped up gas. It's working now.

 

But I don't think it will last long.

 

Any place to recommend?

Since Markcool is $200 less, might as well go there.

 

I hv been using MC for abt 20 yrs n no problems with them so far.

 

I only go to AH Huat. MC long time foreman n hes very experienced n quotes straightforward prices n no nonsence.

If its not cool again after a few days, likely there is a gas leak in the system.

 

I recommend Markcool if u stay North.

 

I only deal with Ah Huat the foreman. I dun trust the others.

U monitor how long the gas can last. If within a few days aircon not cold again, then something else is wrong. Then no point top-up gas anymore. Just drive to a aircon specialist WS for a detail check.

 

Place to recommend? Well, locally I don't know of any, sorry.
