yes u will need to refill with gas after changing the aircond compressor...

get ur hands dirty is the only efficient way of learning

i saw the aircon man changing somebody's compressor once...and it looks that way...dun forget u also need to remove the hoses from the compressor...and after change to new compressor...need to check the lubrication oil and topup if neccessary...dont put too much or will cause the compressor to be burdened by extra drag...

by de way, aside changing good compressors, how to maintain to always hav cold airconds for car? any methods or mods can be done?

 

[arturo]

actualy y u wanna change the compressor la? issit leaking or jammed up liau?

 

[ch1103]

Kong d.. Once turn on aircond rattling sounds all coming out. Rpm is very very very low untill whole car vibrating d.

oh...like that. found replacement yet? is yr condenser dirty/oxidised? if so might as well clean it up too...will improve cooling a lot.

but make sure u have enuf tools...are u sure its not the pulley bearing?

 

[ch1103]

Yea.. Got it done d... Sent it to mechanic.. He says my compressor n also motor for de fan dead.. So i got it all fixed up for rm620.. Quite costly huh.. Thats y I prefer DIY.. >< but i dont have de hose to release de air-cond gas..

u know u compressor wat model???
chop shop model sure cannot fit in ,need to mod tapak n welding hose.
then i feel u case is compressor is half jam aready,need to clean all piping inside n valve n fillter.

 

[ch1103]

That's de point.. I hav no Idea on it at all... Its stock proton wira 1.3.. Nvr mod / touch inside before.. But anyway i just changed de whole compressor.. Guess de old 1 throwed away d.. LOLX.

bro...shouldnt have thrown away...can send for recond n re-sell...can get some $$$ back by selling it after recond or keep as spare...
