Expert opinion required for AC, I've checked Tariq road, Ayesha Manzil and Gulshan. These were the market facts;
There are 2 compressors Sanden & Denso(Terios Kid wala). Sanden takes load on engine however Denso doesn't. estimate which i got for Denso(Kabali not new, as it comes from Japanese cars) was 15k-18k approx. and Sanden new 22k-25k and used 15k-17k. My engine is on mint condition running on both AC & CNG which one should i go for ? Confused !!! Experts ???
Above all the main thing what i want is to fit the AC in the ducts and don't want the box(hangon or dabba) AC. suggestions which i got from mechanics were "roz roz ki khuwari hogi, aye din kuch na kuch leak hota rahega, pura dashboard utrayga, dabba wala lagao aur jaan churao" .. only one guy which i went from a friends reference told me "k hojayega, humne itni gariyon me lagayi he, dabbay walay AC me outer, china k hote hain" All above rates which i mentioned were of Hangon/Dabba/Box AC not with the dashboard duct.
Coming to dashboard - i want to complete this with little things;
- Where can i find original AC grills,left is broken, center two its a covered with 2 boxes to keep things, that I'll need to find new one, its not there currently. Right corner is fine.
- Need the console that starts from ash tray and goes till hand brake.
- Can anyone share the original dashboard picture of this model ? . There's a watch placed at the dashboard(beside the driving seat) and in the meter console there's a squarish empty space at the top left corner, in 81, 82 and 83 there was an analog watch but don't remember what was in 80 model.
- Need to brighter the meter console lights. not with the white led's but want the brighter green lights only sparkling at the no.'s not brightening and sparkling the whole meter which i feel looks awkward.
- Any suggestion if don't install a tape at the top space of the dashboard, what can be done to cover that ?
- Sitting beside the driving seat and seeing the dashboard, was there a watch or a corolla monogram ?
- Was the cover box closed with a lid or open ? mine is open but there are marks which shows there was a cover for it.
- Want to add glass holders under the ash tray or above the console(which i'm searching) Or either between gear lever and handbrake lever. where can i find it ? I think a used of Hiace, Vitz of new model will work ?
- There's a push button at the steering box beside the double indicator switch. What does that do ?
