Yes, may nakaharang nga na White adventure yesterday. Dinayo pa talaga si MM since she lives very far daw..

2001 model pa yung Opel Zafira. Mukha lang bago. Ngayon pangit na since sobrang grasa and ang dumi na since nag overnight na doon. Baka nga umabot pa ako sa monday since di pa natatapos gawin.

may 2003 CRV nga daw before me, durog na kaagad ang compressor. 33t daw inabot ang palit.

Mr.Edl mahal pala compressor ng CRV

Hi mfo, Nice to see you here.

Yes, mahal nga ang compressor ng mga newer cars ngayon.

BTW. ALL compressors are Japan or Korean made. GERMANY, ITALY etc..or any euro country do not produce compressors. Even Bosch does not make compressors. If ever you see one not made in japan,(for ex. York) it was just sub-contracted and re-badged but still made in ASIA.

The sad part of an ASTRA compressor is that it uses a KOREAN made compressor. It is prone to break down earlier than usual. I have talked with numerous ASTRA owners with problems with their compressors as also witnessed in our OPEL CLUB forums.

My Zafira uses a different OEM compressor than the ASTRA since mine has a dual aircon. It uses a DENSO compressor (made in Japan) identical to the one used by new Mercedes Benz cars. But still, it is not immune to being broken.

Kaya if you still have the original compressor for your astra, ingatan nyo. Have it greased. Change the drier and have a system clean.

The OEM Astra compressor cost P28,000 - P32,000!!!

Dami kong nakikitang mga remanufactured at replacement a/c compressors for European cars dun sa mga online auto parts stores. Prone ba talagang masira? O baka dahil mahal ang OEM.

Nung pinalitan compressor ko, Opel Vectra kasabay ko. Kulay talong na hindi na masyado makinis. Evaporator naman ang sira.

REVIEW ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH M.Mario Reyes

CLEANLINESS
I was satisfied naman. Contrary to what people said. They cleaned the car's interior before giving the car to me. They were using wipe-out to remove grease from the interior since tinaggal yung trim panels to access the rear aircon blowers.
Maingat naman but still, I found a few screws that they forgot to put back. Just found them on the floor. (I know they were mine since it was the Flower type screws specific for Opel cars only)

PRICE
The price is just right in relation to the shop. Going there is really a cultural experience though. I really had no idea if it was cheap or expensive since di ako nag-canvass sa iba.

FRIENDLINESS
Mabait sila if you are also nice to them. There were rude customers there too so in effect, hinuli sila sa pila. hehe. Mabait and ma P.R. ako, so sa loob ang car ko with the tent and shade and Mr. Mario did the job himself to my car. I even have free merienda.

JOB
All I can say is that my aircon is cold again. Hopefully, no back jobs soon.

Minsan may mga details din na nakakalimutan sakin. Kaya I just help them reassemble afterwards. Though nothing major naman, usually mga reduntant/reinforcing screws lang yung naiiwan and naibabalik ko din when I get home.

Nagpalit po ba kayo ng compressor?

Doc Otep:

Yup, nagpalit ako ng compressor. It was a conversion from a compressor from another car with a similar bracket and fittings.

Yun lang nga, balik ako tomorrow since parang may singaw ang freon. Maingay and may hissing sound sa loob ng car pag turn on ng compressor. Nawala na din ang lamig ng aircon. Nag overnight lang.

The Hissing sound (Hsssssssssss.) is very annoying. Nakakahilo tuloy sa loob ng kotse since maingay talaga. I hope my aircon comes back to normal again. Sana magawa ng mabuti ni Mr MM.

[wewoy_romero]

pasensiya na, wala akong alam sa pagmemekaniko so forgive me pag mali terms na gamit ko sa ibaba hehe...

might go there the weekend after payday. my car (honda civic 98 vti) started having problems with the aircon (sabi nung nagtingin).

napansin ko kasi, when turning on the aircon, hirap umarangkada yung kotse. when i turn it off, malakas na ang hatak. there is also this annoying sound coming from the hood pag naka-on ang aircon. pag walang aircon, silent naman. nung sinilip ko hood, yung parang metal part sa tabi ng belt ng compressor parang di umiikot ng tuloy tuloy and it's the one making the noise.

pinatingin ko, sabi compressor nga daw. pinasingaw nila at tinanggal muna compressor (it's in my trunk now) and i'm using the car naka-blower lang and windows down (damn ang dumi talaga ng hangin sa manila).

is there any danger with that? sabi wag lang daw uulan at papasukin ng tubig (although nilagyan nila ng electrical tape yung mga hose). mga magkano kaya ang surplus compressor nina mang mario? sana marerepair pa compressor ko para mas mura gastos. free na ba pagkarga ng freon(?)? i can't seem to find mang mario's number dito sa thread.

For a Pajero (Denso compressor), a surplus replacement's SRP is Php 5,900.00. That includes the standard parts, labor, and materials necessary to install.
