Hyundai Accent 1.4liter AC Compressor Issues by Blessingonye: 10:58am On Jun 11, 2022
Team, my 2017 Hyndai Accent 1.4 liter AC began to have faults. I felt it was just change of gas but when I went to an AC mechanic he said it was Compressor and Condenser damage and I had to change it.
He searched for the compressor and brought on compressor he said was manual type and fitted to the car using what looked like an Iron made slab as the base to make it hold onto the compressor space. After he change the condenser. I paid N90k for the service. But after test driving I found out the car draggs and began to consume much more fuel. Looked like a heavier size compressor was used.
I return it and he said he would change the compressor. He now used a second hand one that he said was removed from a Corolla to fit into the space with another iron locally constructed place as a base. But till now, the vehicle drives different. It seems like it's carry a heavy load and the engine sounds havier when I accelerate.
Please what can be the cause. The car I brand new and I have never had any issues outside routine service and it's frustrating.
Please can any one assist. Does anyone know the cost of a direct replacement of the compressor and if there is another solution.
The original one was a n automatic compressor this is manual. Is there any difference?
PS- I stay in Port Harcourt.
Thank

Get the original automatic if you like that engine. Never construct ac in any car. Use the manufacturer specs as there is a solid and valid reason for that. Anything short of that will stress the engine.

Go to any Hyundai centre, and get original part for your car, never panel beat any Toyota parts to your Hyundai.

For Hyundai, avoid Toyota mechanics as much as you can, if you can't, always buy parts for the mechanic to fix
If not they will be throwing fake China Toyota parts into your Hyundai and will make you hate Hyundai

Go to hyundai service centre and buy the factory made compressor. Constructing incompatible Compressor to a car can never have happy ending...

kazeems will swear heaven and earth just to get there profit. Those guys make massive profit with manual compressor, reason why they fully advice it..... in the mean time, take that car to the mechanic and remove that nonsense time bomb they put there. Your engine should be more precious to you than anything.....

The automatic compressor has an electric sensor that regulates and stabilizes the engine whenever you switch on the AC.
The sensor must be removed from the automatic compressor and constructed together with a relay in the system properly to avoid any complications because the manual compressor don't have that sensor....


Meanwhile I fix car AC here in Abuja contact in my signature

Uncle drew, the hyundai in this context is the 2017 accent not an 07 elantra and the engine is expensive.
Op should first arrest and beat up that AC tech that was busy dropping pijo compressor into that car.
Then go buy brand new compressor and condenser for that car.

Regardless of type of engine or car.. Cost of car engine has gone up ... Cost of shipping container has gone up .....

But we are not talking about cost of engine in regards to the guy's 2017 accent car ...... When I had my elantra I never had engine issue , but 1 that I had to change. And I was using the cars for uber.. You want to compare uber abuse to normal driving?


So as long as he takes care of the engine he is good to go. And he is not using the car for uber.. So the parts for the car will be relatively the same compare to the car in the same category

Hopefully the young man with the 2017 accent can get a brand new compressor .. Preferable a new 1 at most......
Now when I tell people to use the proper a/c gas , it falls on deaf ears. One of the major reason of compressor failure or that contributes to a failing compressor is the substandard a/c freon ......

As the business environment in Nigeria changes for the worse.. We also changing too ..

We will no longer take special orders from customers anymore or help source for items to be shipped.....


Time for everyone to buckle up, as we enter this new era of increase of duty on cars.. Meaning that for now only cars from 2013 will make sense to import.....


On the issue of the 2017 accents Hyundai ... Hyundai Parts are not that extremely expensive that people should not buy it .. That is the point am making here



Car importers and car owners. I wish you all the best . time for me to fasten my seat belt and buckle up.....

A person wey plan ahead get peace of mind......

Unlike Toyota, any Hyundai accent or Kia Rio compressor (2012-2017) will fail before 50,000km.

A used compressor is always on its last legs and worse if you do not know the mileage.

There are 3 ways of solving this problem In Nigeria


1. The straight and narrow way.

Buy a brand new compressor, new condenser, and new pipes (yours have been modified and welded) Budget ₦800k-1m


2. The Straight way.

Buy a used compressor (same type) cut and weld your pipes back to former design. (No one will give you a guarantee on the compressor in Nigeria) budget ₦100-150k

3. The crooked way.

Buy a used (semi automatic) compressor usually found in engines with low displacement e.g The Yaris, Suzuki toys, and even the older Rio or accent models. They do not actively engage the engine when the clutch picks up and that eliminates vibrations and stalling.
Cut and weld your pipes to fit. A plate might be used to ensure it fits.
you will not get a guarantee on this compressor.

Budget ₦100k

Expensive how? It is 2017 model, when you compare it to other cars in the same category , it is not expensive that that the owner will have to junk the car ........

If the car is well maintain and all the necessary fluids are used the engine and transmission will last a long time ... That will be is least of his problems ......

Now the compressor is talking about I can get a brand new OEM at the same price range of a Toyota Corolla of the same year.. Funny enough it might be a bit cheaper......
But I no longer take special orders from customers anymore..... And I was not trying to compare my Elantra 2007 to the 2017 accent ....... What am saying is Hyundai engine are generally very strong...

my point is if the engine is maintain , you will not have to worry about engine cost .. That will be the least of the owner's problem....


We can't verify who u are truly .. We don't know what experience you have in Auto business, we don't even know if you have a car.. We can't verify your resume or even contact you

We don't know nothing about u. For all we know u could be a 13year old boy trolling the forum .. So it will be hard to take you serious ......

In my case people can look up my resume and see all the work have done and contribution have made. People have contacted me .......but we can't say the same for you
