hi
Looking for a little help
My car went for a mot a few weeks ago
On starting the car to go I found the aircon would not turn on
I got diagnostics done at mot and they said it was a dodgy pressure switch
They ordered one up and I was to go back to get it fitted
When I left the garage after the mot I turned aircon on and off a few times and the light stayed on and aircon worked
I checked fault codes with Carista and cleared code
The code has not come back for two weeks
Today I went to the garage and said it was working ok and I should maybe get switch done just incase
Well later they phoned me and said the condenser was cracked and it needed a new one
I then went round to look and found they have sheared of part of the condenser while trying to get sensor out
Mechanic said it was like that when I took it in
******** I say
They say only Audi do the condenser at the price of £680 plus vat plus fitting plus new pressure sensor plus regas etc etc
I checked with Audi and it's £245 for condenser and at Euro car parts it's only £87
Question is - are they having my pants down
I can't prove they broke it or it was it that badly corroded it was ready to fall off as soon as they touched it , as they said happened
Should I walk away and get another garage to fix it
