Innova Aircon Maintenance

[hops]

more or less sir nasa 13k.

Wah ang laking gastos. Salamat sir. Call na lang ako.

[Retz]

^

palitan mo na lang sir pagsira na. pricey din kasi.

[Mile2]

madalas ko nga makita yang krystal-aire. kala ko before small time shop lang. pero nung nabasa ko dito sa tsikot bago ko nalaman na sikat pala yan hehe

ang magiging problem mo lang sa krystal aire is kailangan maaga ka magpunta. dami kasi nilang clients.

Actually yan din ang pintas ko sa shop nila maliit at parang hindi shop huwag ka rin pupunta ng weekends dahil ang kasabay mo naman puro armored truck, but generally kaya ako nagpaservice sa kanila dahil sa feedback from my co-employees na matagal ng satisfied sa kanila.

Sir mile san location ng krystal aire?

[hops]

sorry sir ngayon ko lang nabasa na since 2006 hindi pa nagagalaw aircon niyo.. kung ganun na katagal sir mas maganda na kung palitan na valve and dryer,hindi kasi natin masabi baka biglang bumigay dahil dun next time. sayang lang uulit lang tayo..double lang gastos niyo.

Sir may nabibili ba na original toyota na expansion valve at reveiver dryer sa mga autoshop like banawe? Or puro replacement lang talaga?

bihira sir..

[hops]

bihira sir..

Sir brito, question po. Denso yung aircon ng innova ko. nakabili ako mismo sa denso ng expansion valve at drier kit. Sabi ng tindera, drier kit lang daw for denso, sa sanden yung receiver drier talaga na metal. Tama po ba yon? Ksi baka masayang bili ko. Thanks a lot.

Nag palinis ako ng aircon kay Mang Danny non sabado. Mahina na yun lamig ng aircon pero fully functional pa (walang break down kahit tanghaling tapat or El Nino pa kaya ang decide ako palinisan sa kanya. Tinawagan ko sabado umaga at 1PM pumunta ako sa SeaOil. Tapos na yun isang customer niya pagdating ko so ako na agad!

Unit ko is Innova Gas 2009 M/T 121K+ km. First time malinisan ang aircon. Alaga lang sa filter palit once a year linis every 3mos. Hindi binaklas yun dashboard . Glove box at yun plastic lang sa manibela yun tinggal at nadinukot na yun fan at evaporator. Sa likod na aircon naman ay binaklas yun right side plastic "wall" (gilid ng last row na upuan) pati yun right side part ng rear bumper para madukot yun evaporator at aircon assembly don.

Wala naman tagas or langis sa 2 evaporators (front rear). Kadiri lang yun evaporator kasi parang malapot na plema yun dumi . Binugahan na lang ng tubig galing sa pressure washer. Hindi na nilagyan ng solution agent kasi baka masira daw ng maaga yun evaporators (may mga tama na kunti mga fins pero ok pa daw). Nag top-up din ng 3 silicon oil/gel sa fan at palit filter drier. 3 hours yun gawa 3 sila.

Cost:
* Labor + Filter Drier - 4,500.00
* 3 pcs Silicon Oil - 180.00 (60 x 3)
* 1 liter coolant (natapon kasi non tinggal nila radiator hose para madukot yun fan) - 202.00
* Tip - bigyan ko na lang daw isa nyan mekaniko na nagkalas ng fan

Total - 4,680 + 202.00 + Tip.

Balik lamig ulit aircon ng trusted innova ko.

Salamat!

We will be having our 1000kms PMS, Toyota Commonwealth any comments or review with their service? Thanks po.

Simply replace your ac filter. Do it every year.

How old is your car? Which car?

I have a friend who was once a customer service manager of toyota. He asked me if i got the aircare. I said no. And asked if it was effective.

His official answer as a toyota employee to a customer is yes, it works.

His unofficial answer to a friend is, its a waste of money and doesnt really work that well.

Basically, they drill an access port in the aircon hose then using an extended tube fill the coil with coil cleaner solution that washes away while aircon is in operation.

Thanks for the info sirkosero, i was planning to avail this for my next PMS since they advertised that it would only take hours to do and no need to dismantle the dashboard.

[oj88]

^ How much is this service (for 1st gen Innova)? Is this front only or do they also clean the rear A/C?

I am considering to use this short-cut approach because I have lots of things going on behind the dashboard and I'm sure it's going to be a PITA to have the A/C cleaned the conventional way with the whole dashboard removed.

sounds logical.
how much?
i'd probably try it if it is "reasonably priced", and if, despite new filter and ok freon charge, my aircon is not cooling as much anymore.
now, if my aircon were functionally fine, even if it's over 12 years old, i wouldn't bother.

It was for around 5k more or less during that time. They can only do it daw of a unit has a cabin filter from day1.

This is it.



I'm considering since I can't find a decent shop that can do an aircon cleaning without destroying something in the system in the process. For a 2011 Innova.

But as the Toyota Service manager says it is useless.

Also noticed from the vid clip, the foam they will use to clean the inside. Will it damage the coil in the long term? How will they remove the cleaning completely?

[dr. d]

opinion ko lang,

the way that video showed how the process goes,
the toyota method appears to be superficial. perhaps that is why they recommend it at frequent intervals. para ma-linis agad ang dumi, bago pumasok deep between the cooling fins at mag-build-up.
earlier models had no filter. toyota won't be able to easily create that service hole, if there is no filter access.

i have always believed, that there is no need to bring down the aircon, if it still cools fine.
but after over 10 years (and building curiosity), i finally gave my go-signal for the banawe guys to bring down my factory-original front evaporator for cleaning, even as the aircon still cooled me fine.
and what do you know! it's still clean! the filter actually works (heh heh).

and yes,
mukhang mas thorough ang pag-linis ng bring-down-your-evaporator aircon guys.

Sir can you recommend your trusted aircon cleaning shop?

Our 2011 Innova if left under the sun, takes quite some time to cool. It has cabin filter, but not very religious in changing it very often.

sa banawe, po.
take your pick.
my suki is the corner establishment at the second (or third?) corner on the right, coming from quezon ave. it's opposite the restaurant. sorry but i can't give you the name. i don't know it, myself, as the advertisements have over-taken the karatula. it has a wheel-aligning set-up.
choose one that has a decent parking space, and not one that asks you to park on the road. there's no telling how long they're going to work on the vehicle.

i nave two innovae. one is fully-tinted all around (purchased it, used, kasi), the other has very light tint only and un-tinted front windshield. the tinted one cools faster.

If the system is not leaking try visiting Opti-Cool. Our Vios had the same symptoms but I didn't like the idea of tearing out the dash for a cleaning. Opti-Cool pumped out the old freon and oil and replaced it with a fresh batch. Cooled better than new when they were done. Check FB for locations.
