On my 3rd failure in a year

what did they repair the 1st time, 2nd time, and now 3rd? same parts or different? all under warranty? sorry man...On my 3rd failure in a year
Engine replacement and apparently they overfilled the coolant and that killed it the first time, they replaced the compressor with a new model that stopped cooling by the time summer rolled around, replaced a hose and refilled coolant, now that bitch is making the humming whirring noise again and not cooling so well. Iāve had this car 2.5 years and itās probably been at the dealer for 8-9 months. Iām tired.what did they repair the 1st time, 2nd time, and now 3rd? same parts or different? all under warranty? sorry man...
it's the engine and the AC that makes me not tune the car or go forced induction, that extended warranty is looking more certain than ever for me... keep us posted.Add me to the list. 2018 with about 18,000 miles.
I'll make a dealer appointment tomorrow...
I think that's likely true which means that their durability testing regime was flawed. Most likely It was probably not actual physical testing but numerical analysis which in itself is flawed! Unfortunately they build cars to fail these days. Btw my compressor failed again after the useless dealer "fixed" it.Just pure speculation here, but I think much of the A/C issues in thse cars, is caused by the high heat these engines generate. I noticed during the summer, while driving in traffic in 90Ā° weather, the inlet air temp was near 160Ā°. That is a tremendous amount of heat under the hood in the engine compartment. The A/C compressor running in that kind of heat surely is stressing itself, and leading to less cooling capability and sooner failures.
Sooooo, Iāll offer this and you guys can debunk it if you like. We all know this thing does not āneedā an aftermarket radiator. Stock one maintains good coolant temps just fine. Well, we put a Mishi in my sons S197 car and one of the greatest immediate benefits we saw from this mod was considerable reduced under hood temps. Havenāt tried it on this thing yet, but seriously considering it.Just pure speculation here, but I think much of the A/C issues in thse cars, is caused by the high heat these engines generate.
