Cost of Changing Air Filter and Service

[gerryBScot]

I'm going to take the Triton in to get the air conditioning serviced and the filter changed. In the past Mitsu's dealers have done it at prohibitive cost, me thinks, so I have been recommended a local workshop which specialises in vehicle zircon. Any idea of how much I might expect to get charged for a routine service and filter change? Many thanks

Can you mention the cost to remove and replace with new (or clean) the filter at the dealer ?

Mitsu is same as any other car. Buy your filter at a local shop (+- 250 baht, that's how much they are at my shop anyways) and change it yourself.

Done in 2 minutes or less.

As you could probably tell I didn't know what I was talking about! My impression was there was a problem with the filter...... duh! Anything under the boot of a car is beyond me. There was a problem according to them with the evaporator which needed replacing. Cost 6000 THB, took 2.5 hours and involved removing the dash. Big job. Anyhow, after the repair, I drove the truck down to Hua Hin , a 220 km round trip, and the aircon was perfect with the cab very comfortable and on the return I had it set at '2' on half temperature.

Of course I am left with doubts about all manner of dodgy doings on, but hey the aircon is working again!
