Did U do any servicing on the Air Con ?

Maybe due to the chemical ...

hmm.... i oso suspected a little about the air con servicing.
yes, i took up the aircon servicing plus air filter change before this happened.
Think the chemical wash may have corroded the cooling coil :ohmy:
One of the things in the package is
- Prevent unwanted accumulations of unhealthy foreign particles on cooling coil & drainage system
-
Confirm cause by this... ::)

Probably why TC give 'good will' change, which I think is not easily to get. They must have suspected that their air-con maintenance could be related to the coil failure.

Below is the status:
RENEW A/C EVAPORATOR,EXPANSION VALVE,THERMOSWITCH, RECEIVER DRIER, VACUUM SYSTEM INCLUDE TOP GAS
Now confused as was told by SA that cooling coil leaking :confused1:
-
Hissing sound is the initial stage of leaking but still can tahan... fyi service coil is using the term of using chemical but infact is class 3 acid to clear the coil but at times some mechanic tends to overlook the timing for the acid to work its way into the coil so tend to damage the coil ... i have done replacement for a few latio n most of the time the coil is the main issue.

another sign to watch out: you are easily short of breath or sleepy after you drive for some time which never happen before.
Better change the coil else you inhale the aircond gas.
-
Thanks just got the car and a/c as cool as before :yehyeh:
Let's hope it would last longer this time :(
-
I suspecting my latio has coil leakage problem too.
Aircon was blowing hot air until i top up the gas on 1/1/2011. Today, the car starts blowing hot air again.
However, the warranty has over expired since June 2010 and i have not been servicing in TC.
Appreciate if someone can recommend a workshop to check and possibly replace the coil. Thank
-
hmmm last 2 days.. i got these 2 problem appearing....
1) i got this Hissing sound whenever i start my aircon + engage D or R gear..
If i set my fear to Neutral + switch on air con>> no hissing sound..
Is this a sign of cooling coil Dying???
2) at my vehicle commander seat (passenger seat), there is alway this "knocking" sound coming out from the Within the dashboard whenever i am going at 80km/h
I have remove all items in the my glove compartment, coins/drinks compartment (infront of the gear) and the comparment above radio.. .. STILL GOT that sound leh.
any gurus know what is the cause???

Hi, think you talking about Tomika at Ubi Rd 1. My ac also kaput today. Any idea how long the repair takes? Thanks.
-
it takes them about 5hrs to finish the job. U can request to see the spoilt parts. There are some small holes in my old cooling coil due to condensation over the years thus creating the hissing sound. If u are attentative enough u can smell some refrigerator gas coming out from the air con vent. To put it simple. gas leak.

Thanks bro, I sent mine to Mark Cool at Woodlands as it was nearer for me in Mandai. Mine also cooling coil leak, but it only took them an hour to replace, vacuum and renew ac gas.

Today Tan Chong diagnose my aircon coil leaking and need to change, Total cost is $440 nett ,inclusive of gas top up. Seem to be a good price from agent.

$440 is indeed a reasonable price given dat its done by agent, do check wif them wat is the warranty period given by them...

That's a very good deal. Mine was done at Mark Cool and cost me $460 with 3 months warranty. :unsure:

I think not all will get it, especially now they have promo on the aircon coil. Also must be handsome.... ;D
PS, to add they also change the "Thermostat amplifier Sensor" which cost $40++. So the actual cost for the change in aircon coil is around $400...

Hi Ender,
What is your symptom for cooling coil leak ?
Yesterday, my aircon, when turn on I no longer hear any tuk or hissing sound, and the air blow out is warm.

Momentary loud hissing noise when I turned on the aircon. While driving every now and then the hissing noise will kick in. Also air con getting less cold, until one day, it could not cool my cabin, and that was finally enough for me and sent to tan chong to check. Lucky they have some kind of seasonal serving campaigning going on, that's why the reasonable charges.
No "tuk" sound.. Maybe compressor gone liao... No point asking here, just sent to tan chong to check and decide later to fix with them or outside workshop.

I am driving Nissan Sylphy 1.5 for less than 2 years when I heard hissing sound and the air con is no longer cool after sometime. Got it changed during the warranty which would otherwise cost more than $1500 according to SA. After another 2 years, now that my car is about 4 years plus, I start hearing hissing sound again. Air con is cool but only on hot days. On rainy or cold days, my air con is not cold.
Suspect that it is the same air con problem. Anybody knows where to find a skillful mechanic at reasonable cost to repair air con and their contact number. Very saiz, looks like air con repair is a once in two years affair.
Appreciate your recommendations.

Changed my cooling coil 6mhs back and come with 1year warranty for the coil.
Now, suspect cooling coil is leaking as the is a hissing sound.
As my car warranty is over, will TCM charge any labor for inspection or replacement??
if yes, anyone know the charges like?
Thank you
