Hi all bros, Recently when switching on the aircond, there is stale like mildew smell coming from the vent. This will be over after about 5 mins. Sent the car to a workshop and the technician mention that the cooling coil might be leaking and proceed to check the pressure by using some kind of pressure gauge. While doing that another older guy take a look and mention that the compressor is weak. At this point I'm a little confuse to which is the real problem. It was mention that replacement cost about $600+ to rectify the problem. Any bros here encounter such problem and who should I listen too? Car is 2006 Camry.Cheers.

Hi all, I was in Stamford, Loyang during my lunch hour and I noticed some HEPA air filters for the Aveo. They cost $48/-. The lady in the counter offered me an opened one from a customer who she claimed bought model, well anyway she offered it to me for $36/- what I steal, I thought and I bought it. Well, I could not install it into my Aveo as this filter had hard plastic grid frame and it was not flexible. There was no spoonge around the edges (to keep it air tight)and it had no pull out thingy. I tried and tried, I could not get it in as there was a plastic bar across the glove compartment. I was on my knees on the road trying to get the damn thing in. I wasted my lunch hour and have sore knees. I went to return it, dirty and a bit warped. The cashier called the supplier and he spoke to me, " same size what..." I said it cannot go in. So they called a mechanic to install it, he also cannot. At last I got my $36/- back. Luckily I did not break anything trying to get this stupid filter in. The HEPA filter they have is cut to size, and there is no spoonge around the filter and no pullout plastic to make removal easy. In my opinion the filter the sell is crap. But then again they refunded my money, phew! I bought an original for $20/- and installed in about 15 minutes. Please buy orginal parts and save yourself grief!
