Coach AC

[Jackduncan]

Has any one had the dash AC unit spring a leak? My coach I am told need just about everything but the compressor and I was wounding if anyone had to replace their AC and if so where did they get the parts with Western being out of business. Help.

Sounds like you need one additional thing--a second opinion! The dash A/C was made by ACME, which is nolong in business [I think] but the parts they used seem to be pretty std for auto A/Cs. Depending on condition/what happened to the system, [usually a compressor failure or a hose leak] things like evap/dryer tanks and the expansion tube [not the tech name] are common replacements. If someone is saying "it all has to be replaced", I'd run.

Hello Jack:

I had the fittings replaced on the Compressor at A R Auto Air Specialist, 1409 W Holt Blvd, Ontario, CA 91762-3650, 909-988-8458. There prices are reasonable and do just about everything in the way of auto AC repair and installation. They also have a large inventory of AC parts.
