I'm looking for someone to give me some answers about air conditioning recharging.
Here is the "story": Last November, we hit a deer. Nothing major really. $2,500 estimate. It included replacing the condenser. We had the repair work done, no problem. We never used the A/C until this spring (maybe May sometime). We took the van back to have it checked out and they said, "Maybe we forgot to fill it". So they did. It lasted maybe three days. I just got around to taking it back today, and now of course, it has a major leak. They went a step further and told us the leak was due to a bad condenser core.
Now, the air worked when we took it in. As far as we know, it hasn't worked since we got it back. Is there any way that anyone knows of that they could have caused this damage while they were servicing this unit (overpressurized, whatever)? The adjuster called it a wear item, but I can't figure out where the wear came from while we weren't using it.
If anyone can set me straight, I would appreciate it (one way or the other). Thanks.
