Plus there is a loud noise when i turn off the A/C. I immediately sent the car to Suzuki Taytay the following day, June 1. They said the magnetic clutch was corroded that is why the aircon is off and there is no cooling. Also explains the loud noise. I was advised not to use the car so that it wouldn't get any worse. They'll request for warranty approval first before they order the parts to do the service fix.

Its more than a week now and its entering the 2nd week of not using the car. A lot of scheduled outings were messed up. i don't know the warranty SOP. Its just frustrating to watch an almost brand new car not being used because of a technical problem and a red tape warranty process. I hope this gets fixed soon.

P.s.: And NO. I never had the car engine washed.

That's the email i sent to Suzuki. Sorry just frustrated with it. The best way daw tlga is just to follow up and follow up lng.

IIRC, my Vitara manual advises that the aircon not be left unused for long periods of time. I can understand the frustration at seeing the cooling system break down despite the car not being used for a long time, but if the Ertiga manual also advises that the cooling system be run on a regular basis, then that should've been done so.

If so you should be running the engine weekly for 5 minutes just to circulate the lubricant on the aircon system to prevent clutch stuck up

Most likely due to this theyll void your warranty

This was what i've been doing even in my old rides...at least start the vehicle once or twice a week, let it idle for about 5 to minutes, also rev for a few minutes up to 2k rpm so as to let the engine oil circulate..parang mas mabilis talaga masira pag di nagagamit regardless of the car make...

Going back to macomal's issue, i suggest kulitin mo yung casa and sph, paps...sana maresolve ang issue ng ride mo...

Goodluck

Its in the manual after all, how to take care of the aircon system..never let it idle for a long time..compressor lubricant will solidify..that will result in compressor clutch stuck up

Good day po. Tanong lang po yung wala po ba talagang sound yung pag lock or open ng door thru keyless entry sa 2018 Ertiga GL/AT? Also, paano ma test ang alarm?
