Well. The story goes a year and a half ago the ac quit working. More than likely it was the valve in the compressor not circulation the freon. Well. I hate doing things twice so I decided to do things the right way and get it done correctly for piece of mind. Mind you I'm in the Coast Guard and drive around the country a lot. I did not want to have an issue on the road. So.
I bought a brand new compressor, dryer, expansion valve, and seal kit from Polar Bear. I was told they were the go to people for our compressors so I bit the bullet and paid.
Then I did not want to half ass the install so I found a TDI trusted shop off the list we have published and had them do the install.
I was happy as a clam with working ac putting thousands of miles on the open road.
Fast forward 1 1/2 years and 30k miles later and the Compressor started acting up on me on a 600 miles trip and finally locked and burned up the clutch.
Polar bear says the compressor is out of warranty and the TDI trusted shop offers only warranty on the install since I did not buy the parts from them.
I'm about $1000 deep in my AC and now it is completely shot again.
Sorry for the rant. I'm just pissed and broke and HOT.
