Subject: Now with air conditioning ... Author: kharon8 : member since March, 2007 : 669 posts Posted on: 2011-08-16 10:15:55

but the cost was high, total about 430 euros, mostly because service guys used a couple of hours for wondering how the new dryer fits to old electrics (it don't and I knew it), my mistake and that caused unnecessary work.

That caused also a additional freon fill and some disassembly work twice before access to dryer, air filter case and MAF have to be removed. (Washer reservoir was removed by me as it's a blocking object and it didn't hold water anyway.)

Almost 150euros for new dryer and pressure switch wasn't cheap either.

But now it blows much colder than the lang does, I'll call this a success for now and go for a test drive.
