Wife told me about 10 days ago that the air wasn't working. Took it into the dealer a week ago and they diagnosed that the AC compressor wasn't actuating.
Unfortunately we're passed the mileage limit on the 5 year/60k bumper to bumper. Fortunately I argued that the mileage shouldn't matter on a part like the AC compressor. Hyundai corporate partly agreed, they're covering 50% of the repair. Dealership has to order the part, it's supposed to be in today.
When I say it wasn't working, it wasn't getting cold. It was just blowing warmish air for the 30 minute ride to work the day I dropped it at the dealership. They checked the freon and it was fully charged.
I drive the car to work today and all of a sudden the AC is working.
I don't have to tools to change out the compressor myself, but I'm wondering if they're initial diagnosis is still possible. I'd rather not just throw parts at the issue.
