Skoda Laura L & K, A/C compressor busted, cheaper replacement?

Skoda Laura L & K, about 24,000 kms , approx 2+ years old. Aircon Compressor's packed up say Skoda & are charging an absurd figure for a new compressor, and the condenser costs 3/4 the cost of the compressor. anyone know an alternative, which might suit the car & not bleed me dry? 2nd hand components arent easy to come by.

Try to find out who does these components (Bosch, Hella, Lucas etc) and find a parts dealer who does work with them they might give you much better price. I had a problem with part main dealer charged 4500 and I got it from a part retailer new with warranty for 1200. Worth fishing around.

2 Questions 02 Honda CRV Sport passenger side

  1. You have to hit your unlock button a second time to unlock the other doors. If you know this and are, and it's only the one door that's not working, then you need a power door lock actuator replaced. It's attached to the latch inside the door and unlocks and lock the door.
  2. Not sure what a burring sound is, but if you're describing what it sounds like then it could be the A/C clutch, but you also have to remember that you should notice the RPMs on a CR-V drop about 500rpm when the A/C compressor clutch engages. That's normal. If it's making a funny sound, you need to have a Honda dealer check it out, they will know for sure if it's normal or not.

Aircon relay wiring burnt, squeaking sound heard from the compressor. Help? thanks.

Have your compressor check. Squeaking sound is caused by a metal to metal contact. Your compressor bearing needs to be replace, to get it aligned. So that the metal to metal contact will be eliminated. Reload your compressor with refrigerant, before getting it activated. Replace the burnt wiring and the relay. Since a lot of work must be done, it is suggested that you take this to the car aircon service
center.

92chevy silverado,compressor won't kick in . What

it could be as simple as a clutch cycling switch is bad, or low freon. your compressor is at the front left or right( I forget). look at your belts you should have an HR6 compressor(Harrison). is will 1-1 1/2 feet in lenth(cylinder shape). a rebuld will be approx $250-290. A new one will be around $389.00 But have it checked first before spending all that money. simple solutions are always cheaper.

Do i need to replace my car aircon compressor? There is slight decrease in cool but stil w/ blower. Is there a leak in the system? If there is what is the most common cause? The compressor is so expensive....

If your compressor is wasted, you would normally get no cooling and a lot of noise from the unit--if you have a leak, the freon would all be gone in hours of use--there is not much to start with so it don't take long to disappear.
Try getting the evaporator cleaned-usually behind the glove box--and recharge the system without too much oil!
Good service centres have freon recovery units so the freon is not wasted and can be re-used with cost saving.

I don't think you need a new compressor.

Bad ac compressor

U should replace the receiver drier, also called the accumulator, replace the high side line fixed orifice as well, you will need to drain the old compressor and measure the oil as well and add 6 ounce's to that amount you measured from the old ac compressor. and of course you will need approx four 14 ounce cans of R134

AC repair and busted Compressor bolt.

You can install the parts I am sure without professional help, but you will need to have the system pulled down with a vacuum pump to remove all air and moisture, also u will need to replace the accumulator/drier canister an the fixed orfice. always use new seals, never reuse old seals, if the AC has been contaminated flush it with AC flushing fluid, if u don't the new/rebuilt compressor will fail, also if the accumulator is not replaced the AC compressor warranty will be voided, so keep the receipt's

Noise from A/C Compressor

Yes, look for an aircon technician that can swap a/c compressor clutch without removing the compressor from the bracket. if your lucky enough there are technicians who can do it without even leaking or discharging the gas from your aircon system
