Well, I took the 'tour to the shop today to have my A/C tested for leaks (as it wasn't working) and just got word that the evaporator coils are leaking as well as a line between the compressor and the condenser. Apparently, the whole evaporator assembly will have to be replaced, and it requires dash removal to get to it. Bottom line: $843.
Now to me, the evaporator coils are an isolated, non-moving part that's even sheltered from the elements. Can anyone say 'build quality'? Apparently its
not Ford's #1 job!
Its summer, its hot & I'm annoyed - but for $843 I'll just have to live with it. Guess I'll just have to drive faster to keep cool!
