Very expensive week!!!

[D22Nav_Man]

well this week could not have been more expensive if i tried. started with the $100 for the tow truck to take the nav from my house to the work shop, to get the A/C compressor replaced $1250. Then get a call from the mechanic yesterday to say the tensioner was ****ed aswell another 360. Then as usual the little suprise most mechanics hit you with....... new belt aswell, another $85...... bye bye $1800

Yeah I feel your pain.

Had a major service on my Nav this week, got all heater hoses and radiator hoses and the fuel filter hoses changes for good measure.

Then I got the same phone call about the tensioner. I kept the old one though.

You can put new bearings in them.

You should learn to do the tensioner yourself. Costs $5 for the bearing. simple tap out and press in. Walla. But that doesn't help the the 1250 AC price tag.
Hope nothing else goes wrong

Air con is over rated. (who will remind me of this comment on the next hot trip I go on). Lost the compressor 2 years ago, just refuse to spend $600 for the comfort... Dropped my Jackaroo of for a minor service few years back, when I went to collect it they wanted over 2k. At least you got a call..

Still sucks no matter how you put it..

unfortunely didnt really have a choice....... only the one belt so when the a/c seize's the belt doesnt turn and the motor doesnt start I hardly ever use it...... i think I might start , get my moneys worth lol

Had the same issue - new a/c compressor needed - but I got mine for $900-00 non genuine.

Apparently they don't like the mud and water.
