I think this is a line of bull to get me to replace the compressor. I am going to go over there in the morning and ask them to show me where the holes are....my question is anyone have experience with holes in the a/c compressor?

Thanks in advance....

 

Never heard that one before!

 

How did the holes got in there in the first place? Weird...

 

Doubtful, but not impossible. Take pics!!!!!

You ain't that far from me....we do live in a high salt air enviroment, but I don't see it happening.....condensor yes, compressor no.
For the sake of argument, is you car garage kept....if not how close to Intercoastal?
You don't drive in a swamp do you?
How much rust you have anywhere in the engine bay?

 

Did they say compressor, or condenser? The condenser (radiator-looking thing in front of teh real radiator) can get damaged really easily from road debris. Thus the reason for the '05+ MY had a guard installed from the factory in front of the condenser & radiator

 

If your A/C works there are no holes ...if it doesn't
....then you likely have holes...in the condenser

 

I went to boniface hiers, or as I call them boldface lairs, Mazda this morning and the guy corrected himself and said it was the condensor....I pulled it off and found the hole. They also said a pressure hose had a hole, however I looked over all the hoses and the only holes was the leaking orings I pointed out to them....anyway I'm going to do it myself instead of paying them $1005 they were asking....

 

Yeah, they are no different than any other dealer when it comes to price, however I would tell you that they are good at least from my experience and a few others.

So you did find a hole(no lie there).....and they said a pressure hose had a hole. Well, they more than likely used dye in the system under pressure, so I would tend to believe them on this one.........................but that's up to you.
