How much would it cost to fix this?

 

Buy a new one, or a good used one.

 

used one from a junkyard but make sure you get the exact year production date...a newer one wont match up to the system, thats what they told me when i bought one from the junkyard

Dude Im having the same problem...loud squeeling sound but stops when you press the AC button...I got two quotes for each of $600 dollars...good luck I'll let you know how mine goes

 

k...man i don't know if i wanna fix it tho...that's a lotta money considering that i just got something else fixed. And i got springs and struts coming up with dustboots and stuff....i dunno it's either maintenence or mods and i kno this is a no brainer but damn mod i hate you~!

 

well if you don't want to fix it..you better hope that bearing doesn't seize up like i said before good luck on it, but I was told its not that smart to drive with it

 

They are $342 dollars from www.courtesyparts.com . You can give them a call and tell them what year you have. They are remanufactured OEM compressors. I think your compressor is the same as mine, they changed them for the cars made from 6/96 up, my cars production year was 4/96 . That price includes the core charge of $20, which will probably cost that much to ship it back to them.

I actually got mine from one of the local dealers. One of the part guys there is pretty cool. Their price was $392 and he dropped the price $52 dollars. When I bought my strut mounts he gave them to me for half off . So ask your local dealer if they will match Courtesy's price.

 

Ya you are just talking about the part...I'm talking about parts and LABOR

 

My intire bill for my A/C work was around $850 dollars. This included a new compressor (OEM), condensor (aftermarket for $185), a dryer element (aftermarket $60), and the labor, freon, and oil.

I think if it would just have been the compressor, the bill would have been around $480.

 

thanx for all your help guys so i should expect to pay about 500-600?

 

I think that is a realistic figure. I do think that around $500 is possible, as that was around what I paid. The guy that worked on my car is an ASE certified mechanic that has a mobile service. He has a modified truck with a camper shell that opens on the side as well with all of his gear and compressor in it (I was surprised that he had all his gear in there). He came to my house and did all the work. The parts that I bought through him were warrantied for a year and his labor for 3 months, just look around.

 

By the way. The penguins in your sig are pretty funny .

 

thanx
