clit.....did u asked the quatation of a new or re-cond compressor over that shop?.....
was it still cheaper by servicing it rather than change the whole thing?

 

[clitmaster]

i did not asked for re-conditioned unit, as I won't know how good or "re-conditioned" it will be. A new one would cost RM1,200.00 including labour, dryer, gas etc.

lucky for him lorr.. btw, i got sms from 1 guy yesterday offering me a compressor becoz he is converting somebody car to v6. dunno whose car!!

on the other things, what the humming sound did clit mean? mine also when idling with the aircond on will sound whistling. tot from the belt coz last time power steering hose leak and the fluid dripping on it. more or less, damaging the belt. am i right?

 

[clitmaster]

i would say it's not actually humming sound, but kind of like grinding sound. it happens whenever the aircond is switched off. changing the bearings did the solution for that.

it's better u guys could meet up and maybe will get a better clearer idea on the details if there's something to look at instead of guessing ler....
just a suggestion.
just got to know a couple of ppl converting engines; but I dun think the compressor would be changed though. It would still be using bak the old compressor.
Like some of the mechs said; try and re-modified the tapak or something......

it's about rm90 for magnetic clutch coil, rm58 for clutch bearing & rm60.00 for the receiver dryer.

Clit,
1.Hows your compressor performing now??? Coolness? quiteness on n off?
2.Its very interesting ler, what is magnetic clutch coil & clutch bearing in the compressor n its location?


Engineer,
Just my 2 cents bro, if u can get the compressor from the guy in RM50 or less then good to keep, if its more , i'm thinking its just the guy try to make money for a compressor that we dont know how long will last. Better u do like Clit do.

shah,
so far so good. but it's only been 2 days since i repaired it. so i'll have to wait and see how far it can go. magnetic clutch coil looks like a disc (with a hole in the middle) or rather a thick ring. i think this one engages & disengages each time u switch on the the air cond. not sure where the location of the bearing is though. all this while i was searching for someone who can try to repair the compressor first, rather than changing the whole thing. i've been to many air-cond shop & it's frustrating when all they can say is tukar compressor-lah, without even taking a closer look. some even say have to tukar the air cond coil also... celaka betoi...
