涉及车型年份: 2004-2008

- Cold for the first ten minutes, then fades
- Whine or rattle when the air-conditioning engages
- Water on the passenger floor instead of under the car
原因
Three faults look the same from the driver's seat. A low refrigerant charge from a slow leak cools poorly. A tired compressor loses output when it is hot. A blocked condenser or a fan that is not working makes the system give up in traffic. The Gen-2 is old enough that any of the three is plausible, and the radiator fan fault on this page produces the same symptom.
解决方案
Ask a workshop to check the refrigerant charge and look for the leak before condemning the compressor. If the compressor is the fault, a reconditioned unit is the usual route on a car of this age, with a new receiver-dryer and a system flush. A condenser that is full of road dirt can be cleaned rather than replaced.

Do the cheap checks first. A condenser packed with leaves and a fan that does not run will both make a healthy system feel broken. Neither needs a new compressor.
If the air is cold on the highway and warm at a traffic light, suspect airflow, not refrigerant: the radiator fan is the same fan the condenser relies on. That is why the radiator fan entry on this page matters even if the engine temperature looks fine.
If the system is cold and then fades over weeks, it is leaking. A re-gas without a leak test is money spent twice.

社区笔记
Malaysian listings for the Gen-2 sell reconditioned Sanden-type compressors around RM305, and owners on the Lowyat.NET thread report compressors and cooling faults as a normal part of running one of these cars.
