heyduh328 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Here is my problem .. my A/c High pressure line (high side line, whatever) is leaking. not the hose, but the long thin metal tube that runs a few feet long .. they say the part will cost some $500 to $600 ... but the labor charges to replace the line is 15 hours ... plus misc. expenses to take the total to about $3000 ... I don't get it? isn't this just a tube that needs to be replaced? why is labor charges so high? i've tried to find this tube but i can't figure out the OEM part number and whnever I say "high pressure" tube the indepdent part shops gives me a price for some rubber tube that costs about $50 the estimate is not even a lexus dealer.. just some indi shop next to work. I don't know what to do .. has anyone had this replaced? what kind of money did you pay? for the part/s? and labor? what is the exact name and/or OEM part number for this tube? can't believe google came up with nothing help!

Zigzag Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Go to your local Lexus dealer and get a WRITTEN estimate with part numbers. Than get a price from them for the parts. $3000 sounds like they're on drugs. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
