My daughters 2006 Focus apparently needs a new AC compressor (and of course the condenser, receiver drier and orifice tube would be changed too...if I decide on having it done)....I'm already several hundred dollars into this as I've had the system evacuated and recharged twice ...once to find the leak (after spending $ to diagnose a bad resistor)...and again after replacing the (leaky) hose from the compressor to the receiver/dryer...
RockAuto sells a complete kit made by UAC (Chinese) and also 4Seasons (Some parts made in Mexico, some in USA, some in China).
Does anybody have experience with the cheaper UAC brand? Good or Bad?
A guy on the Focus forum advised using an OE hose because of leaks (at the connector) that he experienced using UAC hoses.....I'm wondering if this is an omen or just a bad experience?
