after the compressor then the cooling unit..

last one month ago, my father's old proton wira aeroback was sent to workshop for new painting.. too much scratches (done by the kids who hired by someone to do so in my housing area) and dents on the car body. my father said that better get the car painted in order to avoid the whole car get rusty.

before the car was sent to the paint shop, the compressor has to be changed too because it produces annoying sound. RM600 for the second-hand compressor gone.

the cost for painting the whole car is RM1400. Gone.

two weeks after that, the air-con down. at first i thought it leaked while was changing the second hand compressor... unfortunately, the foreman dismantled the whole cooling unit and ran a experiment to detect the leakage

as you can see the brown spot in the picture, the leakage actually came from a very very tiny hole. the hole is as small as the tip of needle! In the end, the whole cooling unit is replaced a new one. RM250 gone.
why not welding the hole? yes, can weld that hole but after period of time, there will be another leakage at other part.. perhaps the inner wall of the cooling unit corroded after a period of time.. so better can a new one.. reduce the hassle to visit the workshop again and again..
