That workshop need to blacklist
As last time also had similar experience, every time give excuse that 1 spoil, this 1 spoil, bla bla change change
Go to your reliable workshop for the repair, troubleshoot
If no leak (rotten egg smell) then just need to vacuum n pump the gas n change dehumidifier

Could be the expansion valve.
Simple and cheap replacement.

Better still, go to authorized dealer either APM or Denso. Its worth the money paid.
I will try to avoid all those normal aircond shop.

Blow off the trapped excecess contaminated compressor oil(not at the compressor). The change the drier and expansion valve. I think it will do.

When u went for the compressor change, did you serviced the whole a/c unit as well?

I have changed my compressor too (I paid even more than u did!). Now it's too cold - i have to switch it off a few times while driving, especially at night!

Hi,
I am driving a 2003 waja, despite many trips (repairs) to my air-con shop, my air-con is barely
bearable for almost a year.
Finally I went to a recommended air-con shop. He suspected its the compressor and then
he decided to check my air-con gas. He found that it was a mixed of the old type and the new
type gas. He has a briefcase size instrument to check. He showed me it was a mixed of 30% and
70% of old and new type.
So he drained off the gas and pump in new gas. The effect was immediate. Now my air-con is
super cold even in the current heatwave we are in.
Hope this helps!

It could be a radiator issue if it is leaking...
