I feel like im getting ripped off
 

A couple weeks back my a/c goes out so I take it to the dealership to get it fixed I ended up spending like $200 by the time I got back the a/c stopped working an all the a/c fluid leaked out which was odd because they performed a leak test, last Friday I decided to take it back because I also needed a oil change now they are wanting to charge me $500 because they claim since my aftermarket CAI it rubs on the line causing it to leak this just seems like a load of bs and I've already paid them once to fix it :icon14:

Well to be honest if they can prove instalation of an after market part caused it to fail, you may be SOL.

Good luck

Yeah I'm probably screwed :mad: I won't be going back there again

that's the long tube CAI you got in there? it's a known problem.

even the short CAI they (stillen) sells for G35C/350Z rubs the a/c line. lol i have a plastic wire wrap covering the a/c line on my G where it 'could' make contact.

no issues on mine.

You're SOL, the first payment was to diagnose and recharge. The quote is to remove the bumper and replace the line. The part costs $27 so you can do it yourself and save time/money.

DIY with that you need to do here, along with what part to order:

PM me with any questions or if anything in the DIY is unclear, looking for feedback.

I ll know next time just do DIY I found out this morning it was going to be $500 which seems pretty damn high but I've learned my lesson

Yeah the problem is that leak is small so they recharge it, vaccum test I and everything looks fine. Then a day or two later its all gone.

Make sure they put silicone hosing over the lines when they fix it, that way you won't have the problem.

The dealership just called an said it was it gonna be $375 I asked if they already fixed it an they said no it ll be till Wednesday so I ll definitely check out the DIY thread an get the Z back

Thanks Diddy :tiphat: I appreciate the help you saved me some money

yah diddy- goodjob on the DIY. :tup:

Thanks guys! I did it because I found myself in the same boat recently. For a $27 part and a $10 ac quick disconnect tool at autozone, it's definitely worth it to do it yourself.
