'92 Civic A/C compressor
The dealer say that my A/C compressor is burned-up and they want to charge
$1,000 bucks to fix it. 1. Is this easy to fix, because a compressor at the parts store is only $300? 2. Can I use the clutch from the old compressor? If so, the new compressor would be even less. Is the clutch easy to remove? Thanks, --Al |
Re: '92 Civic A/C compressor
new compressor with clutch is $475
rebuilt with clutch is $310 you also need to fluch the system and a new drier $33 a new belt is a good idea too www.bought4less.com "Al Davis" <shonnel7@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:Yllle.1285$4N2.508@newssvr30.news.prodigy.com ... > The dealer say that my A/C compressor is burned-up and they want to charge > $1,000 bucks to fix it. > 1.

Re: '92 Civic A/C compressor
like anything else....maybe
if its the cheapest maybe not autozone and the other parts stores may have some OK rebuilts, but many like the GM A6 and R4 are just REPAINTED! the less common comp like honduhs may be OK.

Re: '92 Civic A/C compressor
If you are a good shop with all the proper equipment then its a easy job.
Your paying for a warranty primarily, the guarantee that if the new compressor fails than the shop can afford to do the job again without any extra cost to you. A large compressor remanufacturing place said it takes 3 compressors to clean out a system. can you afford to buy three compressors? This same shop was once boxing new compressors as reman's (Due to some supply or contract law) and the "reman" ones were coming back at a high rate; the shops saving money by going the reman route weren't cleaning out the system well enough (if at all) 1000 is a lot of money, bur can you afford to do it several times on your own? -- Stephen W.
