Guniang Clutched August 11, 2011 Share August 11, 2011 Hi All... I went to BCC but seems like they r nt tt competent and r like changing parts just to earn money... My situation was like tis...While driving my aircon compressor will stop and warm air will keep blowing out of my vents... after like 10-15mins compressor kicks in again n air con comes back... 1st situation : BCC claim my fan motor nt wrking.. tts the cause of it...I insisted that i saw the fan moving only occassion stopping...if it jam it will nt rotate at all...since my van is ard 7yrs old and BCC is the "Specialist" i gave them a benefit of the doubt... After replacement of FAN motor and drive out to bishan rd my air con died on me again... 2nd time i went back bcc i put the vehicle for 2days...they claim they couldnt find the fault...totally waste of my time...have to tell them my problem and they say : OH your compressor is spoilt. Have to put there another extra day for the "chief engineer" to troubleshoot.. He got quite a reputation so i trusted him n gave him the benefit of the doubt. Claim my compressor was faulty tts why..i asked if mayb its the air con relay might be the caused of it, they replaced my air con relay with theirs and let me try... Ok i changed the compressor... The same problem came back again.... 3rd time: Went back again as adviced and put my car for full day...couldnt find fault...i told them cannot be whenever i on/off the air con there is this sound...den when i demostrated to them, they said oh ya your relay got problem.. I replied that the relay is theirs and they say that their relay is faulty 1... i told them off why in the first place let me try with a faulty relay?? In an anger i left and went to another wrkshop to do....to my horror BCC gave me a relay for pwr door instead of the air con relay...the wrkshop owner showed me the diff...even the pin formation also different... So now my van replaced fan motor, Compressor and Air con relay, the problem still persist... Anybody know what could the problem b?? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic August 11, 2011 Share August 11, 2011 (edited) Try going to a specialized aircon shop like Tomika or Kim Aircon or Markcool, depending on yr location. It's terrible without aircon in this kind of weather. Edited August 11, 2011 by Fcw75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear August 11, 2011 Share August 11, 2011 It seems this shop mech only BS, guess back and do fishing only without doing any testing and have no responsiblity in their repairs. Great way to run a repair business no wonder there are so many Tom Dick and Harry calling themselves specialists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin79 2nd Gear August 11, 2011 Share August 11, 2011 ya... actually sometimes changing the relay will do the job... i had the problem with my car as well. aircon requires 5 mins minimum to warm up... went to get it serviced... 180 bucks... flush and gas top up with a full servicing... same problem arise... went back again, the ws checked and still the problem... but ultimately he brought in a relay to change and problem was solved. The only good part was he didnt charge me for the relay... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic August 11, 2011 Share August 11, 2011 What's BCC ? Anyway, my Caddy aircon failed. I went to Moto-Aire and they found the fault with the expansion coil. Replaced it and now it's ok. Maybe you want to try them instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guniang Clutched August 11, 2011 Author Share August 11, 2011 expansion coil...Hmmm...

Silver_blade Turbocharged August 11, 2011 Share August 11, 2011 I didn't one of the former AD appointed workshop. They only seems to be interested in replacing parts...now they are on their own and seems like they are still doing similar things as before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They specialize in vans. But for aircon, you should go to a aircon specialist instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic August 12, 2011 Share August 12, 2011 How about the air con clutch? I'm surprised they never change that too. It works like a magnetic clutch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is probably your fan coil is leaking gas. It will cause ur aircon to not be cold also. Did u smell a sour sorta smell from your aircon when you first switch it on recently? If you did, then most prob your fan coil has gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guniang Clutched August 16, 2011 Author Share August 16, 2011 erm no sour smell or anything...the cold air juz die off as the compressor died off...den the compresson kicks in agaIN....after the compressor is replaced same thing happen... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahbao999 1st Gear August 16, 2011 Share August 16, 2011 Hi, Previously I was driving Kangoo as well for 5 years untill last year Oct I scrap the car when my COE end. My aircon also caused me alot of problem. I have been to this particular shop for all my servicing and maintainance. This boss has more than 10 year specialise in EURO Van. So he is the expert. His shop is located at Sin Ming road. His name is John, quite famous in EURO van trade. If you wan can pm i sms you the number. his shop always pack with alot of euro van. something must wait quite long, cos he alone do. he dun trust others so everything he do himself.
