20K PMS or 1 year which ever comes 1st ACU Cleaning

[dBoss]

Under two months time, I will be hitting the 20K Km mark… Above you will see are pictures (Diamond-QA) of the notices of “ACU” cleaning when you have your car subjected to a 20K-KM PMS. I find this too early reason why I am inclined not to have my ACU touched. Added cost as well since 20K is considered a Heavy PMS works. Mayroon po bas a atin na hindi napagalaw ng ACU? If yes, what are the implications?

For those you have their ACU cleaned naman, how much is the damage? My rig a Strada GLX.

Appreciate your feedback on this.

TIA

Up you go -- baka lang may gumawa na hindi nag palinis ng ACU dyan during 20K? I was out of the country for months ngayon ko lang mahaharap ang 20K PMS

no need to have the AC clean, kung wala naman sira...

^^ agree w/ above.
turning 8 years na ang lancer ko and never pa ko nagpacleaning, the performance is still great and wala piangbago since day 1.
Even honest aircon repair shops would even tell you not to clean or service your aircon if its still working very fine.
Minsan kasi sa kakapalinis mo dun pa lalabas ang mga sira after a few months.

If you really want to have it cleaned, I recommend EEB Aire Marketing * Timog

Not advisable magpacleaning, especially personal na gamit lang. Ang pinaka ayaw ko diyan eh very good condition pa lahat ng parts niyan, well assembled a/c parts kasi bago, perfect fittings, tapos babaklasin dahil sa linis. Tapos yung mga clips and everything na bubuksan, allergic ak0 diyan. Ang presyo pa ng pa cleaning eh makadalawang beses ka eh para ka ng nagpalit ng major a/c part like evaporator, might as well antayin mo na lang bumigay ang piyesa, isang bukasan, palit pa lahat ng may diprensya, nakatipid na sa gastos, nakatipid pa sa baklas plus hassle ng pagpunta sa casa

to TS, bago lang yang ACU cleaning nila, itong 2011 lang. i had mine cleaned this year nung naka 35k km pms ako. 45xx yung damage. siyempre, sasabihin nila na pag di nilinis, voided ang warranty ng aircon. oh well, malapit na ako matapos sa 3years (2009 yung lancer ko) kaya sa labas ko na lang ipapaservice sasakyan ko. andyan naman si speedyfix. :D

If only we are really sure that there is a cabin air filter installed in our MS acu, there is really no need for us to clean the Evaporator because all the dust will just be collected by the filter and will not reach the evaporator. Regular cleaning of acu filter (which can be done by DIY) is just enough to maintain the cooling efficiency of our car's acu. I agree with other members here na pag pinalinis mo ang ACU mo ay dun na lalabas ang mga rattling sound sa dashboard because clips were not restored to its original place. I am an owner of MS for almost a year now and so far, my acu's cooling efficiency is still fine. Maybe kapag humina na lang ung buga ng hangin from my acu ay dun ko na lang hahanapin kung mayroon ngang acu cabin filter ang MS ko. And kung mayroon nga, I will just have the filter cleaned, pero kung wala talaga it is really advisable to remove the evaporator and have it cleaned.

Yup, kung wala naman diprensya sa paglamig eh wag na galawin. Dapat regular ang vacuum para maiwasan sobrang dust sa loob ng monty natin. Already checked yan cabin filter, wala, but mayroon lagayan. Tried getting one from casa, wala naman din sila ng cabin filter

tingin ko sila lang my ganyan promo, malinis pa yan sa 20k odo, yun technician sa dealer tumitingin din yon sa odo kung kailangan na talagang linisin, malamang yan di na ng fulldown ng evaporator punas punas lang alam naman nilang malinis pa yan sa 20k odo, di naman yan libre kung libre sana....
