dash a/c issues
Well, I finally decided after having our DP for almost four years to get the dash ac looked at again.
When we first purchased it the dash air seemed ok, not freezing cold like my Cadillac but sufficient. Well, that lasted about three months. I took it to a service center to have it checked out.
Tech said it's low on refrigerant, which I figured was going to be the answer. Well, a small leak was found at the servicing port, tightened it and serviced. Cold ac again, for what was a month....geez!
Had the coach in a year later for CAT engine valve lash adjustment, and said check the dash ac out for me....They think there is a leak, low refrigerant again. Found a leaking fitting. I to;ld them to tighten it and hold off as I had a trip planned.
Well, now it's in the shop for many things and took a gamble on checking the ac again:
1).found a leaking servicing port, replaced
2).then found a leaking chafed hose, replaced a section of hose and the other serving port(leak)
3).compressor not working right, won't take refrigerant. they replaced it and the receiver/dryer
4).next the condenser fan motor froze up,replaced it and the fan, also a switch bad. replaced....
5). now waiting to get the latest update after two more days.
There can't be many if any more parts to replace unless a line is clogged somewhere in the system, correct?
