Mystery power drain in a Toyota RAV4 This customer had changed his alternator, gone through two brand new batteries in four months and still had a battery drain problem. Car came in yesterday and took about 7 hours to figure out the problem. We stop charging at 4 hours (20k). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPpRFnfSuu4 As part of the repair we are going to return the car to factory wiring and reinstall his original alternator. The diagnosis fee will be applied to the repair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hQZUNXBfck |

radautoworks: A quick question, would you normally replace a compressor without replacing the condenser as well?! Or otherwise put, when does a car require a condenser change?! I watched the video... |

LeJeun3: Oga Lejeun I greet you. I understand thebigkendo and Aunty Rad's concerns and the true position is replacing a bad automatic compressor in a luxury vehicle with an OEM/Genuine one will cost an average of 170—200k, minus the aftermarket Condenser/dryer and possible expansion valve, freon and workmanship. Not many Nigerians can afford to spend that much at a go for a convenience feature that can be properly Kazeemed, I fall within this category. Been there twice, went for the manual compressor with a relay twice. Will I do it again? 1 Like |

Eddee:I once went to an ac technician for a compressor replacement,guess what? 95% of people who came there choose the Manual option. Not after hearing if e pick you can't return it after installation. Meaning OYO ![]() |

LeJeun3: Yes, a condenser change is not necessary when doing a compressor except when there is blockage. We hardly ever changed condensers in the USA and were puzzled when we got here. Now we know why SMH. |
Re: The Misdiagnosed & The Weird At Milex/Carquest/Rad Auto Works by radautoworks: 8:59pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
LeJeun3: Yes, but they are putting in manual compressors used or new which will not work with the original |
Re: The Misdiagnosed & The Weird At Milex/Carquest/Rad Auto Works by radautoworks: 9:03pm On Nov 26, 2019 |
Eddee: On the same car? And as previously mentioned, it's a myth created by kazeems that a condenser is necessary. All that's necessary is the expansion valve/orifice Edit: wow I had some typos first time around! |

thebigkendo: Because it messes up your electrical system and depending on how badly it was done, causes vibration and stress in the car. |
