the compresser wont kick on anythoughts?

 

im not sure.. but mine is now making an odd noise.. im affraid it might be going out too..

 

Hi,

Just got back from the dealer. Our 2004 Xfire AC went out in the first year. Took it to dealer who said there was a loose fitting. Worked for two summers, and this year stopped again. Today the dealer said the compressor has a bad seal and they want $1,500 to put in a new one. I wish they'd have determined this when it was still under warranty.

I'm going for a second opinion, then shop for a better price. I can buy the compressor online for $385, but I'm sure the labor is a killer - probably have to take the whole engine apart. I'm hoping to find some crusty little ol' German guy with Mercedes experience here in Seattle who will give me a little break, maybe $200 - $300 less than the dealer.
