Subject: Re: 10-July, 2018 by Matatk on 2018/7/10 19:27:38 Hot one here today. Wife had outdoor chores pre-planned for me (she's really good about that....so helpful in planning out my day for me). I had to hack a shrub out that had died and trim the magnolia bush to about 1/2 size. Also got the grass cut since tomorrow morning is garbage pick up. Once that was done I vacuumed the pool since it was looking pretty bad on the bottom. Nice and clean now. Despite the heat I've driven the black beauty a few times. Air still works so no complaints there. Speaking of air...not sure if I mentioned it before but on Thursday wife came home and said the AC and her Rogue stopped working. Great. All that kept running through my mind was $1,000 for repairs. Apparently I have a garage full of tools, however. I was able to get the diagnostics off Alldata and checked it out Friday. A poke here and a prod there, check for power, yada yada yada. As it turns out the coil on the AC compressor is bad. It happens. Of course no parts store sells the coil individually. And neither does the dealer. They want you to buy a new compressor. Of course that also involves evacuating the system, changing the accumulator drier, changing the expansion valve, and recharging. The coil/pulley is just a couple of bolts and snap rings. I ordered a new one off of eBay but it still won't be here for a couple of days. The wife isn't happy but I told her she has 450 air. 4 windows open at 50 mph should cool her off. At least she thought it was funny. Can't do much when the parts are unavailable. Hope everyone has a great day! |
