[Starex_Gold]

Anong manufacturers?

Sanden?

Denso?

Alam ko meron ang Hyundai.. Kaso wala pa sila dito sa Pilipinas

Yun nga....Paktay tayo jan

[Starex_Gold]

Baka pwede naman tanggapin ng Sanden yan o Denso..

Kasi iisa lang naman ata itsura ng mga evaporator, condenser, compressor..

Nagkatalo lang sa cabin filter

[oliver1013]

E bakit hindi masolusyunan ng casa

[Starex_Gold]

Eh kasi pulpol mga casa dito sa atin

Lalo na Hyundai Abad Santos. Hahahaha

[oliver1013]

Paktay talaga tayo nyan

[Starex_Gold]

Ilang casa palang napupuntahan kong matino. No particular order.

Hyundai E. Rodriguez Sr.

Hyundai Las Pinas (tapat ng SM Southmall)

Even the Civic FD has this sour smelling aircon issue. It has something to do with the filter element.

Yung FD ng friend ko ganyan din, upon opening the AC amoy mo talaga yung sour smell..

Nangyari na rin sa FD ko yan noon. 2 or 3 times rin yun.

Pero sa Tucson, Santa Fe at Starex hindi naman

i know there is a type of freon that really smells when it leaks.. the smell is like a dead rat.. i know my friends starex had that smell.. we pulled open the evaporator casing and cleaned out the fan.. and all the dirt in the water catch and drain tube.. mind you we didnt pull the evaporator out.. after leaving the van out in the sun for half the day to dry out the evaporator and other parts.. we put it all back together.. the smell disappeared but after a while the smell came back.. and eventually the the aircon stopped producing cold air.. so we went to an aircon shop and they told us that the smell was coming from the freon..

so that could be the culprit too.. anyways just sharing..
