My freon all leaks out within 3-4 days and dye shows my coil is the leaking culprit. I'm told by two mechanics that to replace my original Chrysler a/c coil, the whole dashboard has to come out. Seats first. And 5 years is about max on these things. Meaning, I'll have to do this again in a few years. Does that sound right?
One shop (Jeep Dealership) estimates nearly $900 and a full day in the shop (they usually underestimate). The other shop (Independent) estimates nearly $1200 and almost a week in the shop (they usually OVERestimate).
Has anyone else here had quality probs with a Chrysler a/c coil? Is Chrysler, perchance, making higher quality coils now than when I bought mine 5 years ago? If not, is there a source for a higher quality coil than Chrysler's? I'm not looking forward to doing this again in just a few more years.
Any words of wisdom that anyone care's to share on this subject will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Rick
