sometimes, you may not need to replace the entire compressor. it could be due to a worn magnetic clutch or something else. go get a second or even third opinion from an automotive aircon specialist. Mark-Cool (Ah Huat only), Tomika, L & Kim etc.

Noise could be bearing worn out.

 

Go to those air-con specialist like what a bro mentioned.

ok! hope no need to change compressor

for those who want to venture up north for aircon repair, you may use the followings as reference:

 

1. TopOne (with a Clarion singboard), opposite Perling famous nasi lemak shop justion. go straight, middle of end lot. apart from air-con business, TopOne is also doing audio & accessories business.

197, Jln Simbang, Taman Perling. 

Tel: 019-7849313

 

2. Fresh Air at Jln Yahya Awal, located somewhere between the 2 Esso stations there (the one on the right used to be Mobil). It's sort of an all-in-one place for car repair as it's next to a tyre shop and there's a workshop behind too. all within the same compound. they are an approved center for aircon courses and exams. prices slightly high but acceptable, with proper vacuum machines to do the job.

 

3. Fresh Cool at Jln Tangki Air, that short dead-end road where there's an old Shell station at the junction, and somewhere opposite Bomba Larkin along Jln Tun Abdul Razak Susur 4 (famous for ah kuas!    ). reasonable price but no vacuum machine for refrigerant. they can repair aircons of most types of cars and do compressor conversion job with the proper piping.

Too risky. What if they screw up?

up to individuals. even local ADs or workshops do screw up sometimes.

My 9th years Mazda3's aircon compressor also giving tick-tick (close to tuck-tuck) sound, was on and off when the compressor kicks-in, I also thought it was bearing issue.

 

I then went to Mark-cool, look for Ah Huat, he said it was the compressor running low with the aircon oil, he then performed a 15 mins job, using their machine to suck out gas, pump in aircon oil and gas. The tick-tick (or tuck-tuck) sound was gone since then.  Total cost: $32.10.
