hi,

I have i 10 1.2lit. which is 3 yrs old with 35k on odo.

Now AC is giving noise and service guy from hyundai saying that it needs complete replacement costing 16k Rs.

Is it reasonable?

Well, I'd take that with a grain of salt. At least until I get a 2nd and 3rd opinion.

What kind of noise is it? Has the cooling changed? By how much? Does noise come under specific conditions, does it have any sort of pattern to it - like it comes after so-and-so time of driving, etc.?

Show it to a local AC shop - probably it needs a gas and lubricant refill.

hi,

loud noise when AC starts. Service centre says compressor coils at fault and today or tomorrow u need to change it.

Shall take second opinion from local AC shop. Thanks
