*Walter - please PM me the name and contact details of that mechanic. Just in case I feel my FXT’s aircon start to show the same symptoms. Thanks.

Had him check another vehicle's compressor also ... as expected, the O-rings also needed replacement ... compressor needed oil ... he used good quality Freon from Singapore ... he doesn't like to re-use old Freon since they have contaminants already ...

Can now cool the cabin up to 14-16C ... have one of those 3-in-1 voltmeter with temperature gauge ...

If it will not violate the forum rules, perhaps you can post the address or contact numbers in case someone will need his service.

Hi guys, mine is approaching 40k km, I think the ATF is scheduled for replacement. Do I need to bring to MI for servicing?

I tried Fusion R to replace my noisy bushings, and had my oil change at fixstop congressional, ok naman service nila.

He's going back abroad ... he just came as a favor ... he said he might setup shop when he returns ... was convincing him to stay since from tsikot referrals alone he can have a good clientele already ... but he needs to train some more ... me thinks he just likes tinkering with the Ferraris and Lambos there ...

Just remember to tell whoever will diagnose your aircon to check the O-rings and compressor oil first ... also ask what type of refrigerant they use ... apparently there are different brands of refrigerants available same as out engine oils ...

Better to bring to MI for ATF replacement ... CVTs are quite picky ... better to be safe ...

As far as refrigerant is concerned, i think subaru uses r134 ata. Correct me if im wrong.

Did you apply one of those windshield chemicals? ... they tend to make wipers skip ...

No. Definitely not. [emoji23]

What i meant was keep your car in the shade as much as possible.

I kept mine in the shade sa office, sa bahay, and i park sa shade as much as possible sa labas.

My OEM subaru wiper lasted 7 years.

Kakapalit ko lang last year.
