In 3 years I've changed 3 A/C Compressors..I was getting fed up. So I decided to switch to "Malaysian" compressor. That means, it's either on of off without sensor (a/c and econ buttons won't work anymore). Can't use the temp slide buttons also. Would have to add a separate hi/lo switch to control temp..It'll be exactly like a Proton..
Was not happy abt it but what to do? Our compressor heavy like batu..running rotary type..the "newest" one also 1999 from halfcut (if you're lucky but most engines are older). Brand new one, checked with Win Hing, RM1.6-2k and a deposit of RM500 to order. Stock will come in abt 1 months time.
So was in a dilemma...ask around high and low, nobody seem to know and said must use back ori compressor..I don't believe it so do more research. Finally, my mech said that instead of rotary, let's try piston type compressor..So we did and wallah!!
Toyota Altis compressors are piston driven (last longer apparently) and can fit with minor mod.
1) Welding one additional hole to fit the lower leg (near the extractor)
2) Plumbing rerouting a bit
3) Use smaller belt
So far using it it's ok..A/C and Econ no prob..but i noticed that the idle when Econ a little low..so i'll update when i have the time to check why..
I'm not sure which model is this from. Can someone take a few pics of an Altis both 1.6 and 1.8 (1ZZ-FE) to see which engine is it from? The fellows very smart..they torn out the labels..
