My car a/c evaporator coil has developed a leak. One of the auto a/c shops diagnosed the problem and quoted me 17k to replace (malaysian part) and service. There are 2 places in the coil where the leak is present.
My problem is, I have already done the same repair around 1.5 years back from the same shop. They said it normally lasts for atleast 3 years, and the warranty covers only 1 year so they can't help on it. I don't know how this happened; I do drive daily with a/c on. I should blame my fate.
Anybody here knows an alternative (cheap) way (other than a replacement)? How about welding? Please recommend me the places too.
Nissan might close down operations in 12 -14 months? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/nissan-exec-says-we-have-12-or-14-months-to-survive/ Are we going to see more companies shutting down or is this a one off. So much for the new GTR and the new Patrol.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
