Smaller and Smaller Parts Work ⚖️🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑⚖️🪞⚖️🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🪞
Scotty thank you for sharing this information!! I personally went to a dealership to change a drive belt and idk if they really changed it. I never really looked at the belt before
I also ask for the replaced part.
The air conditioning system in my car has a refrigerant leak, and there's a label under the hood saying it calls for R-1234yf type refrigerant and should only be serviced by a qualified technician. Seems to me like R-134a is the only one recommended to attempt doing yourself based on my research as R-12 has been phased out. Anyways, I called around some local mom and pop mechanic shops and they all told me it'll have to be taken care of at the dealership. I go to the dealership, they determine that it's indeed a refrigerant leak coming from the shaft seal on the ac compressor, leaking onto the clutch. They wanted to charge me $1900 to replace the compressor. Why not just change the seal? I did more research and am not having all of the symptoms a bad compressor would indicate, just that the vents are blowing warm or room temperature air because of a lack of refrigerant and low pressure. A simple recharge and new seal should do the trick. I opted out on them replacing the compressor because I don't believe I need a whole new one.
Sometimes I buy the parts myself certain shops will charge nearly double for the crappy parts even though it voids warranty on the work
LOL!! No one will do that. What if I replace something under the car?
I save all the parts I replace for jobs I do. No need to rip people off.
