I once blew a line and considered changing out the other 3.... I croaked
Btw... The other 3 are still on after 3 more years of use

I would have expected Turtle to say that.

Wait , it's frogs that croak.

Carry on....

A dryer was recommended as well here...
a blown AC line won't shut you down....try a balanced approach

I think $1,000 will cover it, including labor. However, if you don't want to take a chance, I would accept an offer that required the air conditioner to be fully functional.

However, there are two others that are hot on buying it. I think I will probably have a purchase offer by Thursday.

Heating/Air Conditioning/Climate Control - Sprinter 2002-2006, Heating/Air Conditioning/Climate Control

what would you replace? the condensor and drier?....

A blown AC line will shut me down.
I sweat profusely. I'd sweat when it 's 20 degrees out when I used to work for a living.
I'd rather fix it right while we're working on it.
Fix it and don't look back

The condenser, drier, lines, and, if needed, the compressor. I'm hoping the compressor will be OK.

approx $800 in parts not counting the freon and labor...$1,000 sounds pretty skinny

Has anyone had these lines "made up" before? I worked in a shop in high school and a little during college and we had almost every failed or rubbed line made up for us. I even remember having an aluminum a/c line with a hole rubbed in it welded back like new. It was always much cheaper than dealer parts. Just a thought.

How about testing the AC for leaks? I haven't seen that you did that yet, so far I just see blind parts replacement. It would save lots of time to see what's leaking first.

If I run to GR to have the Sprinter techs @ K & M look at it, of course they will properly test & diagnose it. I am not going to bother anyone to look at it, or waste a half day or more doing it, unless I'm pulling the trigger on the repair. They have all the parts in stock and the best Sprinter techs in the Midwest. They've just given me their opinion on what its likely to be, and some cost estimates. However, the actual repair could be more or less.

OK!!! Got a deposit today from a younger man who is going to keep her @ Express-1. I had two other cash buyers who would have been excellent too, including Zorry. I tried to be fair and accepted the first CASH I received. I didn't get what I hoped for but negociated for a fair deal all around.
