    it turned out that the compressor already had a leak. its o-ring was faulty so they just had to replace it. of course, the whole cooling system was given a thorough cleaning too.

    the bad news is they've already seen signs that my compressor and magnetic clutch are showing signs of obsolescence due to its age and general wear and tear. obserbahan ko na lang daw from here on
    Same case with my jimny. Overhauled and finally replaced the compressor, replaced high side tubing, oring here and there, filter dryer, evaporator replacement blah blah blah and it worked for about a year and then the cycle repeats itself. Either you replace the whole system or replace the car.

    yan yung kinakatakot ko, especially if the mechanic tells you na kailangan nang palitan ang whole aircon system (mechanism) kahit naka-ilang palit ka ng parts.

    yari ka if yung tsikot mo is already very old. but I wonder, why are some old cars in their 90s have cold aircons pa (assuming they replaced some parts)?

    That's called maintenance. It comes from regular visits to a trusted and skilled aircon shop.
