Friend of mine just had this done to his Pontiac and it cost him $210.
VWbuge: Pontiac...... very different animal. Thats an apples to oranges comparision thus it is just not valid. When your talking compressor for 100 bucks are you specifically meaning MB compressor?

LindaJane: Might I suggest you just type out the parts replaced and work done list from the reciept here in a post. Did the reciept say anything about hoses? Did it say anything about R12?
