Intercooler Leak And Air Con Pipe Arghhhhhhhh!

[rjdevinett]

Hi guys. I bought a galaxy for my wife a few weeks ago and thought its time to book it in for a major service at the dealers (as it has fdsh etc) And the air con wasn't working so i booked a re-gas.

But when i collected the car today i was told that the alternator belt needs replacing (no problem,cheapish £75 fitted). But they also said that i have a large intercooler leak, but i have no loss of power or anything. (£380 fitted). Also they couldn't re-gas air con as it has a pipe split. No problem i thought but its £155 +VAT for the part plus fitting as they said it was a git, so it would be £305 fitted.

So to re-cap:

alternator belt £75

intercooler £380

Air con pipe £305.

So my long winded question is how hard is it to replace the air con pipe and intercooler my self etc. Or can i repair either. Or should i just not worry to much about the intercooler leak as its not affecting the performance. Im only concerned about everything as I'm driving it to france in a few weeks with the family.

All your help and advice would be great fully appreciated as i need to try and get the problems resolved asap and cheap as i can obviously.

Thank you all again.

Get a second opinion - then see about doing it yourself if the diagnosis is confirmed.

ok thank you. i will get a second opinion. Also I can't seem to find the parts that they have said i need. As in i can't find the parts from the ford part numbers.

Air con pipes 110490

intercooler 1109138

Im trying to see if i can find parts on flea bay etc but finding it hard.

Thank you again.
