Change of air-con compressor

[jonpaul0104]

Just to revive an old topic a bit...

My aircon had some problems, was not cold at all.
Went to autoaid for help, the mechanic checked everything and said that everything is fine. The magical part was that he stepped on the accelerator with the car in stationary position and the aircon started working.
Anyone face such problems before??

he told me that I set the aircon temperature(26 degree celsius) too high, advised me to set it at 23 to 24 degrees Celsius.

The mechanic told me that it could be due to the aircon compressor not working at 100%. a change of aircon compressor might be  good.
was quoted $580 by Autoaid for aircon compressor change including labour costs.

overall good service by Autoaid actually, they charged me nothing for the work done yesterday.

most likely will go back to them for any help on my ride.

is the pricing of $580 for new compressor or recon one? anyone know where to recon compressor cos I am still keeping the old one....

I am looking for a new a/c compressor.. where and which one is a better buy for quality??

TCM quote the parts and labour more then the cost of NPMP..

Went for servicing and TCM quote $1100+ to change compressor including part and labour, says got sound come out better change. Now 3.5yr liao, so out of warranty period, but since aircon still quite cold so I decided not to change yet, but hoping for the best. 

Meanwhile, anyone has recommendation of good workshops near the south for changing of compressor (Markcool sounds a bit too far) ? Tks!
