I posted last week about a leaky AC Condenser Dryer plug. When i called the dealer about this they said the entire condenser has to be replaced because Toyota does not sell just the dryer portion of the condenser. I see online you can get the condenser dryer kit for $15, which is much better than $100.84 that the dealer told me the new condenser will cost. Curious me wants to know what i am getting into before i drop the truck off asked how many hours the condenser replacement would be, they said 3 hrs @ $104/hr. How hard is it to get the condenser out, it seems like 4 bolts and it drops out the bottom, am i missing something?
How hard are these to replace? Also, should I just buy the $15 denso condenser dryer kit and just put that in and take it to them for evacuation and recharge? Furthermore, if i were to do this, how do i depressurize the system before changing the plug?
I am just not sure the track i want to take, and am really not feeling 300 bucks in labor.
