radautoworks: i agree with you 1000%.. ..i dont know much about cars at all. but i use common sense when dealing with certain situations.. can you believe few mechanics wanted me to change my A/C compressor from automatic to Manual.? i was told that manual compressor was the best and it does not spoil easily etc.. And i thought to myself if the car manufacture wanted the manual compressor , am sure they would have done that long time ago. People should stop converting car manufacture specifications to their own needs... A/C compressor do have a life span , and once that life span expires a new compressor should be replaced. simple as 1,2,3 1 Like |

GAZZUZZ: bottom line , mechanics should stop converting automatic a/c compressor to manual..... funny enough different mechanics told me convert to manual etc .. i just laugh in their face.... and bought my own a/c compressor via ebay for less than what i would paid for in nigeria ... ... If people learn and research car issues , maybe and maybe they would spend less time at the mechanics... Yes, i dont know much about cars.. but how many times do you see me asking for mechanic assistance on the forum.. |

dannybrasky: If I am in Lagos and I have the services and warranty of either Rad or Gaz, I'll always go with their expert opinion and diagnosis. But, there's a category of Nigerians that can't afford their fees or OEM parts required for the fixes, (it's not a crime to own a vehicle even if you can't maintain it) and it's perfectly okay for this people to explore cheaper options. If say economy permit, nobody go dey buy toks when we fit enter dealership fill post-payment forms on credit. 2 Likes |

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do,as it is not factory specs. But does it work? Hell×× yes!! If one can't afford a new automatic compressor,and tokunbo can be very tricky when buying one. If the engine is v6 I dont think there should be a problem. I no be mechanic but I have seen this things work over and over. |

Re: The Misdiagnosed & The Weird At Milex/Carquest/Rad Auto Works by dru23(m): 12:00pm On Nov 28, 2019 |
Eddee: well...i know enough that a/c compressor has a life span.. once it reaches that life span, you get a new compressor or a rebuilt one well i know enough if the manufacture wanted a/c compressor to be manual ,they would have built it to manual ... well i know that buy used bushings for your cars is a bad idea, by using common sense ....... my brother people need to use common sense .. If the car manufacture felt that manual compressor was the best thing to convert to.. am sure they would have done that long time ago.... plus all these car parts do have expire date on them.. |

dannybrasky: sometimes you dont need a new one.. the one i bought for my elantra was a used rebuilt one.. am sure if the mechanics can take their time ,they can rebuilt it in Lagos.. If mechanics in Lagos can convert a 2008 car to a 2010 upgrade car.. so rebuilding a/c compressor should not be a big deal |
