replace aircon evaporator

[antz-z]

mga bossing, mag tatanong lang po...

i'll be replacing the evaporator nung tsikot ko.. lanceer 1996 ex model.. nagpa-qoute ako sa rapide 6k kasama freon... sanden daw ang ilalagay.. dito naman sa car aircon shop na malapit sa amin, 4.5k wih freon na din.. nagtanong ako sa atco how much ang evaporator, 6.5k for mitsu-air..

bkit ganun? sa rapide 6k lang kasama pa freon pero yung unit 6.5k sa atco? ano po ba range ng pagpagawa nito?

am still waiting for sir vince ng coolmate how much sa kanila.. pumunta kasi ako kanina pero sarado yung service center nila sa pasong tamo..

salamat...

The last time I asked Mang Mar, it was Php3.5k for a locally made replacement front evaporator for a '96 Pajero (maybe the Lancer's is smaller?) and Php1,200 (freon, labor, materials) for dual air (Pajero) or Php600.00 for single air. Iba din ang presyo ng piyesa kung ibang brand ng replacement or kung orig ang gagamitin mo. But the labor is pretty much the same.

Prices could have changed over time and Mang Mar's price will usually be lower than the competition because he doesn't have to pay rent (walang bayad ang pwesto niya).

Maybe Rapide will also use a replacement evaporator. If that's the case, mahal ang Php6k.

just fyi ... noong march 2005, nagpalit ako ng evaporator (local) nung esi ko dati, neighbor shop lang, total P5k ang nagastos ... so yung P4.5k mura na rin

[recklus]

verify ko lang, evaporator ba is a.k.a cooling coil? yung maraming fins ba to usually found under the glove compartment?

[kinyo]

that's correct, recklus

that's correct, recklus

ahh thanks. eto lang po mashare ko experience, i replaced mine with a local one before kasi nga nagtitipid, i had problems with it, after mga 2 hours nawawala lamig, the shop pulled it down again, ayun puro ice so again i replaced it with an original one. explanation sakin nung shop was the size, slightly smaller kasi sya compared dun sa original, di daw kaya nung local kaya ng-iicing. i went through this experience pala twice, hehe stubborn din talaga ko, kala ko mali lang cleaning nung unang shop tas nung nagkaleak ulet evaporator ko i went for the local again, ayun same result!

anyway, according dun sa mga shop na yun kia ko lang daw nagkaproblem sa local evaporator (daya noh? di tuloy ako makatipid haha). so i guess ok na local kung nagtitipid ka. btw, local evaporator is around 3.5k

just last saturday, aug 18 nagpasama si gelpren magpaaus nag aircon nya sa
sa banawe, cnamahan ko xa sa innovate, un pinapalit evaporator nya, ung coil, tapos filter pati na rin air sensor, by d way oto ny 97 lancer gsr so most probably preho lng kyo, orig nman nilagay, un inabot lhat pati labor around 8.1k, la nman reklamo ung aircon, convoy nga kami nkapatay na aircon kc sobrng lamig. try mo dun chief, onga pla wag ka kuha nung locally made, d xa ganun kakalamig sayang lng. un ung mga pang taxi na halos parang blower lng na my ice na nakatutok! umm opinion lng, wag ka papagwa sa rapide, dami bad reviews regarding service nla.

*superman, pwede bang makahingi ng directions going to that shop? ilan hours inabot yung paggawa? thanks... just in case, pwede din kaya bumili lang ako ng evaporator then pa-install ko sa iba?

anyone knows a good and trusted car aircon shop near makati? ang init talaga pag walang aircon, lalo na pag tanghali then natapat ka pa sa stop light..

ok naman ang local replacement evaporators e, 3.5k lang din nung pinalitan evaporator ng 2k gen1 crv ko at lamig sobra lalo pag byahe.

Lancer pala auto mo bro, akala ko Civic ang JDM evap (surplus) is just Php1500. Sobrang lamig, based on experience ng mga tiga Honda club.

chief antz-z banawe ung innovate eh, pero kung sasadyain mo and mag canvas sa banawe eto ung directions:
-pag nasa quezon ave ka facing rotonda, mag right ka sa banawe(ung may mcdo) direcho ka lang banawe tpos pag nkita mo na sa right mo ung dencio's mag left turn ka na, makikita mo na dun ung innovate, katabi ng poorboys
libre nman check up dun e, usually gnun nman tlaga aircon repair shop..
sorry gulo ng directions...

if you prefer installing an orig denso evaporator, i had my mom's car's evaporator replaced for P5,300 at Koolpix, inside AutoCamp in Ortigas btw the car is a '96 AE101 Corolla GLi
