kakagising lang nga ni mang mario nung pumunta ako kaya mejo masungit...pero after a while, kwentuhan na.=)

and i'll say mura talaga! will definitely go back pag may prob ulit.

went there last december din before christmas. nawala lamig ng aircon ko. his son removed my evaporator, filled it with air and saw that there was a leak. i was expecting to hear that my evaporator needs to be replaced. but his son said that he might be able to repair it and so he did. he welded the leaking part and tested it (no more leaks!), cleaned my evaporator, then he reinstalled it. after the work, i asked mang mario's wife how much my damage was while in the process pulling out 3 P500 bills. to my astonishment, she said that my bill was P800 only! now that is cheap! and all that work was done in 45 minutes! what can i say? i was amazed by this family. may god bless them.

Depende sa area ng leak kung magagawa. Kung kaya, they will repair it. Na-try na din namin dati, tumatagal naman.

malas ko yesterday may fun run ang pajero clan ng mymitsu. Nung pauwi na ako bigla nalang ayaw mag on ang compressor. Nakita ko pumutok ang fuse. Inisip ko baka kasi luma ng yun fuse kaya lagay ulit ako ng bago. Naks pumutok ulit. hay gastos uli baka shorted and clutch ng compressor sa linggo ako pupunta kay mang mario. Buti otep laki talagang tulong mo sa pag refer sa amin kay mang mario

Yung magnetic clutch ko nasira din after sustained high speed travel. Hindi kaya yung pag-engage-disengage ng compressor while being spun by the engine at high speeds ang salarin?

theveed,
Tanggal freon niyan. Baba ang compressor, eh. Pero hindi Calsonic pinagawa ko nun.

[theveed]

Sino nakapaggawa na ng compressor bearing replacement kay Mang Mario na calsonic? mga magkano inabot?

Also, pag pinalitan bearing, tanggal din ba freon? If so, pwede na isabay R134 conversion?

[Betz]

ask ko na rin sa inyo guys! ano-ano ba kailangan palitan kung ipa convert ko sa R134 ang aircon ng auto ko? at magkano kaya ang gastos dito?
TIA

[theveed]

Betz: Please do a search, may mahabang thread na about that.

may magagawa pa kaya si mang mario para lumamig aircon ng hyundai H100 namin lalo na ngayon na kailangan na mag pa convert to r-134a diba mas mahina daw ito magpalamig.

[johnart]

otep,

no idea if high speed is the culprit but I drive more faster with a galant vr and had no whatsoever problems with the magnetic clutch. Maybe its a defect by the nippondenso compressor ? Mit Air sa galant. Baka sa pag off road nababasa

Ayos to.. punta ako kina Mang Mario sa sabado.. , sira auto ko.. me humuhuni sa compressor. So far ayon sa mga nagpatanungan ko. palit compressor na daw.. around 20k aabutin.. sana mali sila at magawaan ng paraan ni Mang Mario..

bubuhayin yan nila mang mario...

yung akin ginawan talaga ng paraan....

pero nung talagang bumigay na ang compressor ko... palit na lang ng orig surplus... ok naman. 5k yung gastos lahat2 na, di na ko siningil dun sa unang pag overhaul at freon charging. daming discounts dun. ;)

[theveed]

john: could your belt be slipping at higher RPM speeds?

[BoEinG_747]

Bosstl: try mo din ang check ang tension ng belt ..baka maluwag na at doon galing ang humuhuni..

subukan mo paandarin ang buhusan mo ng tubig ang belt pag nawala ang tumunog doon nga sa belt iyon make it sure na belt lang binuhusan mo at di naman masyado marami .mabasa lang ang belt

johnart,
Baka combination ng off-road contamination and high-speed engagement/disengagement. hehehe. Dalawang clutch na kasi naprito ko. Swak na swak pa nasunog nung pinaandar ko a/c while running at 150kph.

talaga po bang nakakasira ng compressor pag binuksan mo sya at high speeds? kasi minsan pag sobrang lamig na pinapatay ko sya and binubuksan ko kahit tumatakbo yun kotse. minsan mabilis takbo ko (around 80-90kph).

[bosstl]

Sir Boeing_747 - salamat sa tip,, pero tumutunog lang sya pag bukas ng aircon eh. pag patay yung aircon ko.. tahimik naman..

Good to have read this thread. Yun aircon ko nawawala yun lamig e, nung pinagyan ko ng freon sa aves (Php400) tumagal sya ng 4 months, then nung December nawala na ulit yun lamig. Pinalagyan ko na ulit ng freon pero baka daw may leak na yun evaporator. Yun din actually sinabi sa akin ng isang German mechanic, and 18k daw gagastusin to have it replaced including the dryer. Tanong ko nga kay mang mario kung magkano sa kanila, mga 5 minutes away lang naman sila samin. Alangan lang ako sa pag tagal ng dashboard e.

guys,
i have been reading this thread for a long time. don't want to comment before but
here is my thing:

i knew him way back since the early 90's. he was still fat. same old place. i had my lancer fixed by his crew. spent a small amount and job was fine. just the usual hand prints on the dash and door.
few years later, brought my fx to him. i had to convert the aircon lines and electrical because i had the stock 5K engine swapped to a super 4AGE. he promised me that the job will be done around 4pm. it ended 7pm.
being so understanding, it was ok for me to wait. paid him and went on my way.
6 days later, the aircon didn't work so i had to bring it back to him.
the culprit: burnt relay. so i asked him to replace it including the socket since they were the one who installed it. so they did. but to my surprise, they charged me 750.00 for 1 bosch relay, cheap socket, tape and maybe a meter of wire.
i asked him why should i pay since they were the one who supplied the parts and they were the one who installed it. he said there was a problem with my electrical system. i said your nuts! if there was a problem with my electrical system, the fuse should have blown and the relay destroyed hours after. not days!
he was very insistent but unfortunately, i had no money that day because i assumed that it was a backjob. i said i will return next time for the payment.
since then, i did not pay him and never went back.
i had the aircon electrical checked by ichiban banawe. atong said that the wirings are messed up that's why the relay got burned!
had to shell out a few hundred bucks for that.
by the way, ichiban was the one who did the whole ECU electrical for the 4AGE.

i have heard many good and bad stories about mario reyes. in fact, if we meet, he still knows me.

its up to you guys. maybe their system has changed. that's good.

but for me, i am never ever going to have my aircon fixed by him.

peace...

Good or bad, each one of us has our own story to tell about mang mario. In my case I have a good one.. ganda ng aircon ko ngayon. lamig.. and the best part ang mura pa ng ginastos ko.
Kahit anong shop naman eh.. me maririnig kang d maganda. Gaya ko when my aircon broke down. I went to different shops, got advice from my friends, browse different forums, etc. Pero why did I go to mang mario?? kasi mas maraming good feedback sa kanya kesa sa ibang shop.. d sa lang mura.. ok pa ang gawa..
so naisip ko lang kung makikipag sapalaran rin naman ako sa pag papgawa ng aircon ko e piliin ko na yung shop na me mas maraming magagandang feedback from customer....
ako I highly recommend mang mario..
peace ..
