Review on Four Seasons 58096 New AC Compressor: Reliable Cooling Solution for Any Season by Efraine Cruise

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Compressor early failure

My 4 Seasons aluminum compressor failed 16 days after the 1 year warranty expired! The o-ring in the center of the body popped out allowing gasoline/oil/metal debris to drench the engine bay of my '65 Buick's Sport Wagon with silver oil. Constant speed of 70 km/h on the freeway, 94 degrees per day, 170 degrees engine temperature on the day of failure. All pressures were within normal ranges when the system was primed using an electronic gram balance system. Now I am about to buy a new condenser, dryer and another compressor. I also have the cost of evacuating and charging the system. I have ordered another 4 Seasons unit but this time I have purchased an additional second year warranty.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • For old
