It's major labor to swap the ac compressor, so good call getting one with a warranty. Curious to see how a local handles it

It's at City Chevrolet (yes, that City Chevrolet), and they told me it's all covered, and they are replacing the lower tube as well incase it caught any debris. I also asked for an estimate to replace the e brake assembly in the car, but they called me to say it was NLA, and that they removed it, cleaned the 23 year old gunk out, and that it's working again. They said the last shop should have done that when I asked them to fix it, so they're only charging the $60 diag fee even though they had to take the console and seat out. Overall it's been a positive experience, but we'll see when I pick it back up.

Console ain't much work. Can't tell you how many times I took my shit out to wire up all my crap. So good on them for spending the few minutes to look into it.CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:48 amIt's at City Chevrolet (yes, that City Chevrolet), and they told me it's all covered, and they are replacing the lower tube as well incase it caught any debris.

Oh I know it's five minutes for me but taking the seat out and getting around the carpet, then cleaning, and putting it all back together is probably 2 hrs of labor anywhere you go so I appreciate the significant discount.Acid666 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 9:04 amConsole ain't much work.

The drive there was awful. Torrential downpour, stop and go, 4" deep puddles, and open windows because defrost obviously wasn't working. The street comps performed surprisingly well in the rain though.
Yeah man, weird weather around here recently, we were in some crazy floods and thunder/lighting on our quick Atlanta trip last night.
Also, East Independence is kind of I grew up just a couple of miles from that place, E. Independence used to just be a regular road but they made it that hybrid expressway thing and it's just terrible.

I was on 29&24 the entire time. Took me about 45 min from work, when without the rain would have been high 20'sD Griff wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 1:25 pmYeah man, weird weather around here recently, we were in some crazy floods and thunder/lighting on our quick Atlanta trip last night.

Me: I spent way too much money on this thing
Also Me:
Edit:. Cleaned and conditioned. I also ordered a wiring depinning kit so I can move some wires around in the plug so that the controls work properly in my non sport seat equipped car.

They look good, but I hope they were free. They're really not great.

They're solidly decent for comfort, should be an ok improvement especially if your current seats are shot. New foam and covers for the original seats wouldn't be cheap.

I have the covers you gave Troy, but I'd have to have the zo6 embroidery removed in addition to new foam, and then I still wouldn't any lumbar adjustment.

Now I just need to replace my what seem to have recently blown woofer/mid assemblies with the ones I bought from the swamp. Those were supposed to get adapted to the rear deck of the S4 but I might be driving this to Chicago for RADwood in three weeks so I'd like some working speakers.
What say you?

The price feels a bit high to me... but damn if it isn't the cheapest C5 for sale locally that isn't a total shitbox automatic with ripped up seats, weird mods, destroyed exterior, etc.
