Heard knocking in AC compressor. Then stopped. No Cool air now. Cost to fix?
What is your question?
Heard it knocking when I pulled in garage last night. Shut of car immediately. Checked all fluids. All good. Started car in am, and knocking kept going for 30 seconds and the suddenly stopped. Drove car around block and all seemed good except no cool air. From my research, AC Compressor shot??? Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. I can buy a new Denso from Parts Geek for just under $300.00. Labor cost? Anything else I should know? Thank You
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
You will need to buy a compressor, accumulator (dryer) and orifice tube or expansion valve depending on your system. If you don't replace these components, most warranties will not be honored by the compressor manufacturer. They usually want to see a system flush kit on the same receipt as well. In addition to this you will need compressor oil, freon many auto parts stores offer a discount on these parts if you purchase all at the same time as a kit. And some will extend your warranty for by one or two years, be sure to ask this It's not something that they volunteer to tell you! I'm sorry I don't know the average labor rates for your area. But you should be able to go to the estimated cost section on repair pal.com to get an idea, just enter your zip code for shops in your area. If you are going to attempt this repair yourself, I would still take it to a shop with the proper equipment to vacuum the system down to -30hg. And recharge with proper amount of freon.
Found Denso Part number PPS-gf40 on the ground. Seems like a dead give away for the AC unit. I beleive it is a Denso unit. I found the compressor on Parts geek for around $300.00. It cooled down great in Scottsdale. Should I stick with the denso unit?
