bro what is the situation that you are facing? i used to go to one in JB, fantastic job and excellent pricing, come with good attitude.

[Guest tanwill]

Car Aircon sometimes hot, most times cold. I playh around with the switches, it usually works again, but these few times, refuse to work.

sigh

[Guest tanwill]

Thermostat !!! prob.... simple.

Also good to have the system clean up while you are doing the repair.

These few days weather very hot, if no aircon driving is no more pleasurable. Firstly do see if there is enough freon.

Yeah if problem with thermostat then will be good news, also see if compressor is engaged.

If compressor works, no problem with thermostat and freon level; you experience coldness only for a while and then no more cold air, then you may be in for a more touchy problem.

when did you last change out your aircon condenser unit ? it might be completely clogged with dust and such hence the half hearted performance..

it also might be the dryer switch unit..

Thanks to everyone for their advice.

Followed KElvin's suggestion and headed to Zen Auto to fix the problem.

They seem pretty good and what they were doing and familiar with the 124.. there were always a couple of other around too.

trouble turned out to be a faulty thermostat.

Ah maan found out after tinkering with the relay and the switches.

changed to a new one and pumped some gas

total damage 85.

im a happy man again..

Happy enjoy your new aircon in this type of heat!!

[Guest Raskie]

need to monitor the 'coldness' over the next few days ... if still kilat-kilat, then all is well and good ...

[Guest qes78]
