The service guy discovered that the air con compressor is leakying v. badly in my NA fairlane when doing a regas..............what money am i looking at in order to getting it fixed? I've got a quote for $1100 + labour, is it a rip off?

BTW, the alternator is dead yesterday, just got it fixed for $200............Bloody car yard...........

Just contacted the car yard and they're willing to pay for part of the repair if needed and will give it an inspection tmr...................Let see what will happen.............How much will a mechanic usually take to replace the compressor?

700-800 if its a new compresser, if you get a second hand one look at paying just over 100 for the compresser and $250 to get it fitted gased etc. and make sure they put die in it.

EasyEA

i brought my ea for $1500 but is now worth about $2500 to $3500
i decied that air con is not worth it - since my whole system needs repalcing - $950 (including labour)

anyway my point is that my whole system "only" costs $950 to replace/recondition

by the way - ea's and i suppose na/nc cant get new compressors - they dont make them anymore

just another thought - when i asked ford about compressors they said that a brand new au cost $800


i just thought i would let you know so you can see how prices are made
