KevinBloodyWilson Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I have a Peugeot 406 (2004 model), and the aircon has gone west. Yontrakit ae wanting to charge me 40,000 for a new compressor, but this seems a bit much and something about the guy didn;t seem right. Anyone know what a reasonable price for this is and is there a good repair shop I should be going to? I live close to Seacon Square on Srinakarin Rd. Cheers for any relies...

I am not familiar with the car but air conditioner compressors tend to use the one type in many different cars, get a few quotes you know what to ask for. Is it even the compressor that is faulty? may be just a gas leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 40'k is typical for Yontra. Go in a AC shop, maybe they can rebuild your compressor or change it with a rebuilt one. Normally you have to change the driyer and valve as well, cleaning and vacum and recharge the AC system. Should be not over 10'000 Baht, if you go to a local AC shop. I can't recomment someone in Bangkok, because i living in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBloodyWilson Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 That's good advice from both, and I thank you both for it. On the back of the a/c thing, they just charged me 20,000 for a 80,000km service on the Peugeot 406, which prompts me to look in other directions now that the vehicle is 4 years old. Anyone know of a good place to get regular servicing done in Bangkok? (I am close to Seacon Square, Srinakarin Road). Also, is there a good auto aircon place I can go to following that suggestion?

verydumbubba Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 A/C is pretty simple - re-gas it -a DIY job even, and see if it leaks. Brittle seals, from lack of use, cause leaks, any competent shop can do that or swap the compressor out whilst you wait. A rebuild is say $100 + gas + labor Bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
