    but as i recall, your problem was not the compressor, but something else.
    the 2003 altis i drive, still has its original compressor, working.

    I don't know nga e. But they replaced the compressor thrice Though I think there's a batch of 11th gen with compressor issues kaya they just kept on replacing the compressor and not checking for other problems

    lucky me!
    which brings me to the question... why shift from clutched- to clutchless..? what advantage does clutchless offer?

    hmmm... so hindi pala reliable mga clutchless? or is it just bad engineering on those particular compressors

    supposedly to prevent the thunk when clutch engages and prevent the sudden loss of power. but it's not an issue on modern engines. it's not even an issue even on "weak" 1.3L vios or cities

    Not sure sir, but atleast dalawa na kilala ko nasiraan on their low mileage clutchless altises.

    Same concept why sikat na sikat ngaun ang "inverter" type ACU. To gain a little effiency by just using right pressures to produce desired cooling temp.

    2nd na lang ung refinement, not hearing/feeling tick sound of clutch engagement.

    Eto may onting primer about how a clutchless compressor works: Variable Displacement Compressor - How it Works | AxleAddict

    Baka in most cases ok pa ang compressor itself but the problem is with the actuator that adjust the displacement of the pistons inside. Kung external actuator baka repairable pa. If internal malamang palit buong unit na.

    In theory, yes sir pede pa nga palitan ung particular part na nag cause ng failure like you mentioned.

    In reality, walang nag rerepair so far mapa banawe or kahit sikat na shops like si Denso aircon or si frigidzone, lahat sila palit isang buong compressor gusto. Price will vary between 32-35k nuon outaide casa.
