ROTF LMAO at the toyota dealership here.

[gixxer750]

I took my 89 turbo to toyota for the A/C expansion valve recall haha.

So, the go to take the lines off, and twist them in half. They were already replacing the compressor under the recall because the faulty expansion valve damaged it with very high low side pressures.

So, now they are replacing the expansion valve, metal hard lines, evaporator, compressor, and expansion valve under the recall... This is too funny. That 100 dollar recall job just turned into a 1500 dollar recall job real quick like. They said for my inconvience they were going to replace a few other things, clean the condensor, flush it, and do all the other things free. So, I'll have an entirely new A/C system on the 89 turbo auto for free filled with R12....lol

And to top it off, since they'll be keeping the car for about a week waiting for parts to come in I get to sport an 07 camry LE V6 with every option known to man as a loaner....

I'm not mad at all, as a matter of fact, this made my week.

The head gasket is already showing very faint signs of BHG. Maybe it'll overheat in the shop and they'll think they did that too and fix it.

Oh yes, and I get a complementry wash and vaccum... haha

Best week ever.

[gixxer750]

I guess, I googled it and no luck. toyota says it was when I gave them the vin

 

[LilMissMkIII]

WOOT!!!!!!!!

 

[eman2289]

Well, if the HG does go, you wont have much luck since they will torque it down to 56 ft/lbs anyways.

 

[Poodles]

hmmm... might explain my issues as well since my low side had tons of pressure...

 

[gixxer750]

yep... low side around 70 to get cold air with high side in spec. expansion valve is stuck wide open. When you rev, low side will drop into the thirtys. That is described in the recall.

If they do head gasket, it has arp bolts in it, I'll make sure they put them back in. Then when I get the car back i'll do a retorque to 80 ft/lbs

Chris: Nice to have a win for a change

 

[gixxer750]

For real.... I'm going to put as many miles on this damn camry as I can while I've got it too. Road Trip FTW!

[chris717]

recall... what do you tell them

 

[PROJECT N00b]

I think its best to get your VIN and call the dealership and tell them to give you any info on a recall.

 

[Zazzn]

them swine won't do any recalls in canada, as they never reconized the problem bastards.
