Hello all, i have a Vitz 04 whose AC suddenly stopped cooling when i turned on one morning...Got it checked to my AC mechanic...He filled air and it was a big leakage in the switch beside the AC condensor with 3 wires and it works to control the fan n according to my AC mechanic, it also works as a fuse incase there is a blockage in some AC line, it gives up and saves compressor and want me to change the condensor.Is he ripping?
For the time being i got the switch welded from below and gas recharged and got fan wires direct on AC...On enging heating and cooling fan is auto but on AC it will stay on.I have 3 options:
1.Leave it
2.Change switch only and see if it leaks agains and then change both switch again and condensor.
3.Change switch and condensor and get whole lines washed with petrol and cooling coil etc whole AC serviced
Now shall i change the switch and see if it leaks again, which would prove a blockage and then i will have to change condensor too? He says original switch will cost Rs1800 plus 1000 for gas and 200 labor. Makes it 3000.
And if there is a blockage, i waste them and spend them again with condensor too.
Or shall i also change the condensor along with switch and get coil and whole AC and line service (hes asking 6500 for original Denso condensor.)?
Hes asking 10,000 for the whole work.
