Persona cooling coil leak, open cooling coil without dashboard

Which Part Do You Need?
Proton Persona models use different aircond systems. You must confirm your system type before buying:
  • Persona (2007–2016): Uses either the Sanden or Patco system. These are not interchangeable.
  • Persona VVT (2016–Present): Generally uses the Sanden system.
 
Common Signs of Failure
If your Persona's cooling coil is leaking or blocked, you may experience:
  • Weak or Warm Air: The aircond blows but never gets cold.
  • Foul/Musty Odors: Bacteria or mold buildup on a damp, dirty coil.
  • Hissing Sound: Heard from behind the dashboard, indicating a refrigerant leak.
  • Water Leaks: Water pooling on the front footwell/passenger floor mats.
Recommended Brands
  • Sanden / Patco (Original): Most reliable, often used as the factory standard.
  • APM: A popular Malaysian OEM brand that typically offers a 1-year warranty.
  • Valeo: High-quality aftermarket alternative.
