[xj-s] Re:Air Conditioning saga revisited



Hello All,

The saga continues with the 1990 XJS air conditioning system.  First I thought
it was the expansion valve.  After much discussion and finally having my Jag
mechanic check it out, he says that this is not the problem.  The problem
according to him is the air conditioning hose from the compressor to the fuel
cooler. ($150.00), the GM compressor ($260.00), which he tells me is leaking
from the rear plate.  By the way this is for a rebuilt compressor.  New
schrader valves ($16.00) and $100.00 for R-12 freon.  Add to this $350.00 in
labor charges, plus tax is over $900.00 for what I thought was a bad expansion
valve.  Just remember it can always get worse!!

Question here: my close friend's Father is a GM certified tech.  Working with
him and buying the parts myself brings the job in at under $400.00.  Is there
something significantly different with the jag air con system even though it
is a GM?
