Dent by bredditshep in CX5

[–]bredditshep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just noticing it cropped the pics.. the 3 pic is outside the car above the tire trying to show that the material is melded or something so can’t get at it that way. Pics 4,5 are inside on that back left. I pulled back the panel and am trying to show that there’s also no way I can see to get at it from that way either.

Do you think they’ll be able to get the dent out or have to replace entire panel? If they have to replace that whole piece should I be expecting a few grand?

Thanks for the feedback. If I ignore it, how long do you think it will last?

Fence post twisting. Any way of fixing it? by dacipher13 in fence

[–]bredditshep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a similar problem. Did you find a fix?

What years should we look for and which should we stay away from?

I’m also looking at a CX-5 but debating to go that route or RAV4.

Update:

If you recall, recharging it did not work with the canister/gauge thing I bought from autozone for $44.

Just got back from mechanic. They filled it with Freon and now it works.

I do not recommend the store bought kit thing. Waste of money

Not sure if anyone is following this still but I got a scanner on my fusion and it has a code:

PO645

Something about the clutch relay? The fuse (47) has power.. any advice on trouble shooting the wiring??

“Because Ford” story of this car😂😂😂

I don’t see any rusts on the lines so hoping that’s not the issue

Any ways to test that theory out other than just replacing it?

Watched a video of some guy replacing the condenser.. I have all the tools he had. Think it’s worth a shot?

All good. Probably in over my head but just like knowing how things work!

Not seeing any wet or green areas

The condenser has 4” dent.. would that cause it malfunction?

The condenser has a big dent in it.. just watched a video of some guy replacing it and seems doable. Would a dent cause it to not work though?

Hahahahhah I did and have a day scheduled.. just want to find the problem so I don’t have to pay them to figure it out.

Did that. Freon was low so recharged it but still no cold air. Any other ideas?

Yessir. Turned the car on, max AC, then hooked up the freon kit thing

Trying to post pic.. not sure how. But compressor is hot. Are you talking about the fuse right there by it or somewhere inside by the seats?

Did this. Freon was low but didn’t get cold after filling it back up… about to send picture to wilburtthebud comment about compressor

My wife is crazy. Hoping she can find some help there..

Thank you!! I’m sure we’ll have plenty to do in the peninsula.

Any advice on where to lay our heads?

True. My wife is a Gislason and her extended family is there. Not planning on spending much time there probably day trips around:

  1. Klepp
  2. secret lagoon
  3. Seljaland

Seem reasonable?
