P/S pump or A/C compressor?

[bang 2010]

sir, i had my car checked sa honda. this is what they quoted me for
1. overhaul gearbox assy
2. overhaul p/s pump assy
3. replace lower arm assy (front, both)
4. replace shock absorber (from, both)

ung item 1, since indi nila maoverhaul.. they had it replaced.
ung item 3, ok na din ung lower arm ko.
ung two items plang ang npapagawa ko.

now, may ingay akong naririnig sa hood ko when driving the car or after driving while the engine is still on.
ung noise is same as when the A/C is on.
sometimes, nawawala ung ingay pag i-ooff ung A/C.(take note, "sometimes")


i had it check sa local mechanic at sbi replace ko daw ung A/C compressor.
which do u think is true? AC compressor or PS pump?

Establish first what kind of noise? Can you describe the noise in words (ie. squeaking, grinding, whining, hissing, rattling, etc.)?

Pa check mo muna sa gawaan ng car aircon baka bearing ng aircon compressor ang naririnig mo.

thank you for all your replies.

it is more of a rattling noise that sounds like a pulley bearing noise.
it is particularly loud when i turned on the A/C while accelerating.

sir, compressor daw po ung problem according to the mechanic.
they want it replace for 3.5k (surplus) then 1.5k for the labor.

loose na daw ung bearing ng compressor and it can't be repaired daw po.
what must i do?

pls help.

Compressor bearing can be easily replaced as long the mechanics have the right tools (Bearing puller, bearing fitting tool, circlip pliers,etc) for the right job. Thats the trouble with some backyard mechanics, if they can't repair a certain component, just replace with a surplus/ used one.

yan din po ung na noticed ko. the last shop/mechanic i went to, 2.8k ung price na ibinigay nia. compressor bearing din ung problem na sinabi nia. included na sa quoted price ung cleaning, freon at labor.

what do u think po? ok na ba ung 2.8k?

i think, observe mo muna kung saan nanggagaling yung sound, mahirap kasi kung di ka sure na sa compressor yan galing. while the engine is on turn on also your a/c then open the hood. observe it. if sa compressor nga ang problem, yun proceed to aircon mechanics. pero sugestion lang huwag ka pumunta sa mga tabi tabi lang na a/c shop, baka gumana that day the following day hindi na much better if established na shop ang puntahan mo atleast meron warranty.

salamat po.

gnun po ung gnawa ko, turn on the engine tpos open the hood then ung A/C nman.
sobrang ingay pag naka on na ung AC. as if there is a motorcycle passing by.
pag nka off cia, tahimik ang paligid.

i am based in olongapo and wla akong alam na malalaking shops d2. sa loob nman (sbma), kumukuha lang cla ng A/C mechanic sa olongapo din.

seems i really dont have a choice, do i?

sir meron kayo idea kung how much compressor sa honda esi 94? tnx

[conzky]

sir, just to be sure whether the A/C comp. or PS pump is the culprit, try elimination. the two have separate belts attached to the pulley. first remove the comp belt, observe, then replace it. next, remove PS pump, observe. im sure after that you will be sure which is making the noise. HTH.

thank u po sa suggestion nio.

naka apat na mechanics na po ako. 3 po dun e A/C mechanics, lahat cla compressor ang tinuturo. well i dont think they check the P/S pump.
how possible is it na P/S pump ang problema? do they create the same noise?

i know soooooo little about cars.
that means, i can only open the hood and the trunk. nothing more. except to drive ( a little).
i wish i can try your suggestion.

or ok lang po ba if i ask the mechanic to do what u ask me to try? --- isolation?

repeat ko lang po ung instruction.
1.first remove the comp belt, observe, then replace it. (what will i use to replace the comp belt?)
2. remove PS pump, observe.

good morning.

finally i had the compressor fixed.
initially bearing lang daw ung problema so i was charge 2.5k
after iopen at iremove ung compressor the mechanic told me na its not only the bearing but the clutch plate as well. so almost the entire compressor head e papalitan na daw nia just to save my comp. i need to pay 3.5k na daw.
otherwise, ibabalik nia lang ung dinisassemble niang parts.

i decided na ipatapos nlang.
after that pnakita nia sa akin ung mga broken parts like the bearing and clutch plate.
then he showed me ung compressor na nkakabit na sa sasakyan.
one thing i noticed is that, iba na ung color ng compressor ko.
naging white silver. he told me na nilagyan nia ng paint after linisin.

im afraid na pnalitan nia ung compressor ko since orig pa un at still working. how will i know na ung compressor head lang ung pnalitan nia and not the entire compressor?

nkakalungkot talga magpafix ng sasakyan.

Mas maganda siguro kung pagagawa mo sasakyan mo bantayan mo iyong paggawa para nakikita mo piyesa na pinalitan kasi kung nakatutok ka hindi sila makakagawa ng palitan ito ng iba. Suggestion lang sa mga nagpapagawa.

[j_gasmen]

no way para malaman mo. but im sure pinalitan yang compressor mo. that is why Im encouraging you to go in known service center para maka sigurado ka na di ka lolokohin.

[dreffyboy]

pap's from gapo din me
may maingay din sakin last time malapit sa p/s pump and compressor
inisa isa ng mechanic ko tanggalin yung belt's since last yung sa compressor
kala ko eh bearing na buti idler pulley bearing lang. P800 lang gastos ko bearing and labor

eto mechanic ko si raniel sa elicanyo sa likod st. joseph
pwede rin L&D kay kuya danie sa intersection ng 10th st and gallagher
sa loob ng base pwede rin ng bloom malapit royal

may i know pala kung saan ka nagpagawa?

..mukang pinalitan nga comp mo why would he take an extra effort na pinturahan pa
