    Wow! You have such good memory. I had the supports replaced as you and the others have advised but I haven't had the power steering done yet (I already bought the kit). I don't know/can't decide where to bring the car for the power steering repair kasi.

    alwayz_yummy I just bought a new compressor January of this year.

    this time find an A/C tech to properly diagnose your A/C problem . i would suggest that your system has to be recovered in order to determine the right amount of refrigerant in there . it should be around 1.60 lbs.

    if it's overcharged, the compressor will work harder and eventually fails . the low side gauge should read at 35- 40 psi * idle , and the high side gauge should be 175-250 psi . the condenser fan should be working .

    from the gauges alone , the A/C tech will be able to pinpoint the rootcause of all your troubles.

    i was looking at your expenses ... i think your problem is your cooling coil ... serpentine usually cost 2500 - 3000 ... the problem sa serpentine matagal lumamig ... that may be the probelm ... if your paying for a good cooling coil ... dapat nag laminated ka na ... 4000 - 5000 ..... you don't have to pay 4500 for a serpentine

    you can also change oil ng compressor baka kulang na yung lakas niya ...

    My serpentine cooling coil is 3 years old now. In case I need to have it replaced, do you recommend that I get laminated or serpentine?

    Since the original cooling coil for my car is serpentine, if I replace it with laminated, wouldn't it cause having other parts replaced as well?

    Pag nag on ka lang ng aircon umiingay patignan mo iyong bearing ng compressor cause kaya umiingay minsan dahilan din pag nababaha sasakyan mo . Iyong reply ni bambino pagsobra rin ang dami ng freon overcharged hindi rin maganda magbigay ng lamig mahina.

    Go for the laminated type na cooling coil. If your car is a typical japanese, look for a JDM surplus cooling coil then have the shop convert it for you. Difference between laminated and serpentine are night and day especially during summer/hot days.

    What needs to be converted?

    Why do you recommend a surplus cooling coil over a new one?

    How much is the laminated type because yung pinalit sakin cost 5.5k serpentine type. I have a Mitsu Adventure, kung local daw ipapalit 3.5k , kaya I thought it was better.



    Nagkaroon ng mga butas yung pinalitan na serpentine type in less than two years, got it from Berovic in Abad Santos near Tayuman. Bihira lang din gamitin yung sasakyan and yearly ang linis. Sana tumagal yung pinalit ng Ceejay's and hopefully di na magkaproblema.

    I'm just wondering kung masyadong mataas yung price given to me for the serpentine? Ok lang din naman kung di na magkaproblema.
