| ![]() Good review mate. Well structured and informative. What are his charges for normal AC servicing? We have usually been getting it done from the A.S.S. but this seems worth a try. |

My accent's blowing luke warm air on hot days, and mildly cold air in the mornings when its pleasant outside. Definitely needs a service. Way too many "AC service" symptoms. | |

I would also suggest to check with other FORD dealers for the cooling coil pricing. I got a quote of 4.5K for ikon 1.6's cooling coil replacement from Ahmedabad ford dealer, however it is another matter that Ford A.S.S. was quoting 4.5K for AC servicing and gas replacement. The quote for 10K is from which Ford dealer's A.S.S. in Delhi ? | |

| ![]() Thanks to SS da for sharing the contact. This is gonna be long. My '05 Santro's AC was acting up in the Delhi summer heat. Few weeks ago, I blew 3 AC fuses in a single day. Actually the heat was too much and I didn't want to drive without AC, so just kept changing them and driving on. Showed the car to AC guy in Palika bhawan, who advised to do nothing as everything was alright. I continued like that and for 2 weeks nothing significant happened. On 3rd Jul, people blocked the highway in Gurgaon to protest against no electrivity & water in the region (Yeah .... we block roads for everything in NCR. Water / Electricity / Quota for OBC / et al. Why should only a select few suffer when the discomfort can be extended to a lot more!!). Car was stuck in a jam for a long time, more than 90 mins. Suddenly AC goes kaput. Drenched in sweat I reached office. Changed the fuse in the parking lot later but the compressor did not budge. Sensed big had gone wrong. Left for home pretty late to avoid the heat wave. Anyways reached Manjeet Singh Place at 11. I was the first guy there. He wasnt there so the senior (ustaad) guy Suresh did some check and proclaimed the compressor coil to be 'shot'. Asked me to speak to sardarji for the cost work. I was given an estimate of cost and time. I also gave SSda's ref to him. Compressor Coil 750 Oil 250 AC service 1800 Labor 350 Total 3150. Time - 4 hours. Work started and continued on it's own pace. I wasnt very happy that whenever a new vehicle came, everyone's attention was on the new vehicle. While I was there a Safari, a Honda city and a Tavera came in. At exactly 3 pm I left the place. Paid Rs 3000/- overall. Initially the AC was not kicking in at idle and I had to press the accelerator after which it ran. Manjeet Singh asked me to get the RPM set, basically get it increased a little, which I did the next day. No issues since and the AC is a chiller. The rains in delhi have also contributed to this. So much so, that now I have to regularly switch it off in between to stay comfortable. Met a BHPian marriedtospeed at the shop. He saw the couple of stickers on my ride and asked me if I was a T-BHPian. He admittedly hasn't been very active on the forum. Overall very satisfied with his work. Would I recommend this shop? Yes Directions - Near Krishna market gurudwara. Misc - The time taken may be more than you expect. ATMs- Couple of ATMs in the vicinity (PNB, AXIS). Foodie tip - While the car is in the shop ask around for Anandji Chole Bhature (Shop No - 37, Krishna Market, Lajpat Nagar I, ). Much better IMHO than the grossly overrated Nagpal in Amar Colony.

| ![]() He appears to be one from the old school who still uses the ac pressure gauge set and a separate vac. pump rather than the hi-fi "Robinair" gas recovery and recharging equipment. Based on the recos for him , it just goes to prove one thing - don't go by how the shop looks , go by the person's expertise. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() My Swift's AC compressor (Behr) had been making a weird 'krrrrrrrrrr' sound on idling (sound goes away once the revs rise) last summer, but since the cooling was fine, I had let it be. With the onset of warmer weather in Delhi this year, I thought it prudent to have it checked out with Manjeet today. Unfortunately, this seems to be an irreparable issue with the particular model of compressor that came OE with my car, and I have to either live with it or replace the compressor. On Manjeet's advice, I've decided to live with the sound till the compressor stops working, since AC compressors are expensive (about Rs.12,000, was his estimate). Just because I was there, he checked cooling, belts & gas pressure (everything was fine), and had the AC condenser pressure-washed. Ready to face the Delhi summer! |

After 6 years of excellent cooling, My swift's cooling has reduced drastically, and I have also heard this strange "krrrrrr" sound sometimes - and ignored it ! Now, when I showed the car to neighborhood guy for normal cleaning and servicing, I was told compressor has to be replaced ![]() I'll head out to this guy to get the AC checked - how can I refer you on my visit ?! ! | |

![]() My Swift's compressor continues to make the noise, but cooling is absolutely fine till now. It's a Behr compressor, and it's more expensive (than a Subros). Ask him to replace with a Subros compressor in case replacement is absolutely required - he knows about how to use different mounting lugs to attach an Eeco/new model Swift compressor to the old Swift. | |

| ![]() An Update. Got the the AC blower casing replaced and AC serviced on my old trusty Baleno. Charges Rs 2200. Work was done well and patiently. Manjeet and his Right hand man Suresh are the experts. the rest of the "chokras" are the usual boys and need to be watched when working on the car. For eg. one of them kept the opened dirty blower casing on the bonnet of the car which copuld have left scratches. I ordered him to remove it. The point is he was oblivious to the care of the car the way other two (Manjeet and Suresh) do. All in all good work and reasonable price. Recommended. |

| ![]() The Air Conditioner on my 2007 Santro Xing is acting up. The airflow from the vents is fine but the air coming out is not cool, specially when the car is not moving which makes it difficult at redlights & in traffic jams. Another thing that recently cropped up was that the vent knob doesn't come till the right most position which is the one for the main vents (on the face position). The knob works at all the levels/positions but doesn't go beyond the second last (feet+face vent) position. Can someone suggest me a place near North/West Delhi (Pitampura) to get these problems rectified & a normal AC service. PS: What are the charges for a routine/normal AC service here in Delhi ? |
