    Like many of you I have had my AC Condenser damaged by debris. In my case must have been pretty good size, looks like it creased the lower right corner. I can not believe something big enough could have gotten in there to do it, maybe a bird at 60 MPH. I do not recall hitting anything. My car...

    The other day I decided that my car needed to kiss the kiss the receiver hitch on the car in front of me at the red light. After inspecting the car it look like the hitch went through the top grille and hit the absorption bar, missing the radiator. I took it to the dealer to have repairs done...

    Hi all, Just today I got a chance to shine a flashlight through my front grille to look for the AC Condenser shield since I just remembered reading about it on this forum. I don't see the plastic shield installed on my car (2013 ECO MT). Can any other 2013 ECO MT owners please check and let...

    First I talked to the service manager at my dealers, said my VIN indicated already has one. But got him to come out and look for it, he couldn't find it either. So we walked back to the parts manager, he said the same thing, even printed out a line drawing showing what it looks like and how...

    So I'm considering replacing the damaged a/c condenser in my 2011 Cruze 1.4T instead of paying the dealer $700 to do it. I am mechanically inclined and have been working on cars for a long time but have not replaced a condenser before. Can anyone offer some insight into this repair or has anyone...

    Driving home from work this afternoon I turned on the A/C for the first time in a few months (75 in Phoenix Today!) only to discover that it wasn't blowing cold air!! I let it run for about ten minutes before I gave up thinking it was just me, then it started to make some weird noises... I took...

    Wife hit a deer or the other way around, car is at my dealers now with a new fender. Stopped in to see the progress, front bumper was removed to change the fender, and the condenser was literally loaded with insects. He is going to clean those off for me, but what about next time? Only access...

    I'm thinking about buying the A/C condenser shield and asking my dealer to install it when they do the belly pan recall. I was not able to locate this item at the online GM parts sites. I was looking in the Cruze ECO diagrams because my understanding is that is the model that comes with the...

    Tried to get a little a/c going with the warm weather in the midwest. Unfortunately, nothing was cooling down. Took it to the dealer and they determined all the refrigerant was gone and the condenser had probably been damaged by road debris. Supposedly, there is a service fix for this...

    After replacing my AC condenser on my 2011 cruze because a rock hit it and put a hole in it. It cost about $700 to fix. I found out the 2012 Cruzes put a shield in front of the condenser to help prevent this from happening. the shield only covers the bottom half of the condenser. Has anyone put...
