Ce1sierra Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hello everyone; Does anyone know how many condensers the GX470 have? I am being told that it has 2 (front & rear), but not sure. My A/C is not blowing cold air and the mechanic found a leak on the rear condenser (red dye). He is quoting me $575 for the rear and said this must be fixed first because of the leak and if the front is bad, it will cost another $1,200 or so to replace. I thought the front condenser was in front of the radiator; thus much easier to replace, but he says he must tear down the dash which is much more work and this is where the $1,200 comes in for the front condenser. Any thoughts???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha4000 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 If he has to tear down the dash he must be replacing the whole evaporator core as well as all the ac lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ce1sierra Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Quote Hi Craig; Not really sure. The guy I took the truck to just said that to replace the front condenser, he would have to tear the dash out, but I thought the front condenser was in the engine bay just in front of the radiator. But then again, I am no mechanic, thus my post. As it turns out, my GX does have a rear A/C (I.e rear condenser). I just bought the truck and I have other problems with dash lights ( VSC, VSC Off, Slip Indicator, which causes the Check Engine light to also illuminate) that I also need to fix. Otherwise, the truck really runs good, the body & paint are very good, the interior is good, new tires & brakes, so once I fix the dash lights and maybe the A/C, I think I'll have an awesome vehicle. The funny thing is that when I reset these lights, they come back on all at once, so not sure what may be going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
