My wife and I have had Chrysler 5 minivans: 1986, 1992, 1192, 2000, 2001 and they've all had A/C problems. Chrysler must by their evaporators and condensers from the low bidder, because they all leaked. There was a hidden warrantee on some years.Originally posted by Swimmer
Chrysler 1996 Town and Country Mini-Van LXI- two weeks ago- Dealer replace a/c evaporator-step one- remove dash- Cost: $1328.00
This week- a/c compressor clutch apparently slipping-burnt up clutch coil- I purchased a replacement compressor at Oreilly Auto Parts- $309.00 with tax...I installed it- works great. I have had lots of refrigeration experience and been in the field since 1968.
As bad as all that this is the worst- I went to a Chrysler dealer to get o-rings for the suction and discharge line where the lines fasten onto the compressor. Get this, two o-rings, small little pieces of round rubber- total cost $23.00.
I guess that is the cost of staying cool in Kansas.

$300 for the valve cover gaskets seems a bit high, but not highway robbery. My wife's minivan (talk about a cramped engine compartment...) recently blew a head gasket (don't get me started...bought it brand new, head gaskets went bad at 55,000 miles...), and it cost $1800 for that nifty little repair job...
