As you all know, my BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH and A/C COMPRESSOR is going bad.So i E-mailed the chassis and part number to my dad.Yesterday i got a call from my daddy in Dubai.He's in a shop selling all europeans spare parts.So he finally bought those two items which is much cheaper than here.
So my question is :
How long will it take to fix the aircon compressor?
1 day?
Half a day?Just wondering;

i am not sure, but you may have to recharege your AC.
Ok, look at the car from the front of it(facing the windshield, standing at bumper)
when the hood is open, it is on ur left side, down there, near the radiator house.

you need to release teh belt tensioner and remove the belt, and the only other problem you may have is actually getting in there

Hmm...Sounds complicated...My dad will be coming this tuesday,so that means the parts will arrive then.I rather bring it to the shop.
The dealers won't help coz the parts are not being bought form them.
