At the Aircond shop, they checked the compressor is not the same with Citra and checked several places, no one has keep this compressor. No choice, I called up NazaKia Spare Part, yes they have stock but OMG the price quoted RM 3.8K
What the heck the "local" brand car that the compressor alone cost this much. Really crazy!!!
Sifu/Bro any "lubang" to get those recond one or used unit?

Mileage sekarang sudah berapa ratus ribu?
I remember yours is 2008 fully CBU Rondo so I guess no a/c shop carry that compressor model. Can share what model?
3.8K is too much

How much would you expect it to cost? I am sure a competent air-cond shop will be able to modify a local compressor to fit.

The problem with customized/recond compressor is limited waranty, kadang-kadang satu minggu saja waranty.

I would say Naza is very crazy to make profit from their loyal customer who had been supporting them, like myself, being the 1st batch of very daring to buy their Rondo without knowing how their performance and reliability, kena slaugther by their sparepart price.
Don't worry Naza, plenty of option out there. From reconditioning unit to modify/conversion or to simply just repair the broken compressor, the price is less than half of your offer.
I am still considering which option to go, the cheapest will be replacing the cluth/pulley unit. The sifu said he needs open out and check for the condition to see which part spoilt, if can change only the cluth pully unit, then will be very much cost saving.
Again to Naza, keep the crazy pricing to yourself forever. Those who want to opt for Naza/Kia car, please be reconsider seriously as the After Sales Service will slaughter you.
Just for comparison reference why I said Naza Crazy,
Toyata Camry AC Compressor - Original quoted by Toyota SC @ RM 1.3K VS Naza Rondo AC Compressor - Original quoted by Naza SC @ RM 3.8K! Bravo!!

Sorry to hear about your case. I am just thinking out loud that since Kia is pretty popular is Singapore perhaps you can get the compressor cheaper? ;-) Just a thought..
