hi - hope someone here can help me....
the problem is that the CLIMATRONIC in my Golf hasn't been working for a while so:
i left the car to VW yesterday about the AC problem, and they came back to me a few hours later saying that there was no gas in the system, and they traced it to the fact that they assume i threw a stone up from the road and it punctured the condenser(?) and i need the following:
1 x Drier (part no 1J0820191D) @ £76.99
3 x Seals (part no 8E0260749 (was 8A0260749AJ)) @ £0.42 each
1 x Condenser (part no 1J0820413N) @ £306.60
1 x 345mm Fan (part no 6X0959455A) @ £121.27
ontop of this, its gonna cost me another 400 odd quid to get it fitted - the total bill quoted is £976! and i dont know if this is the final price either!!!
my questions are: do i really need all of the above, and also, if i can find a written off golf, can i get these parts handy enough without damaging them? if i find the hole where the stone pierced, could i merely weld it up, or patch it or something?
any help or advice anyone can give me would be really appreciated!
thanks
Ross
