when I bought my Z a few months ago, the PO pointed out that the AC makes noise... and it did. Whenever the AC pump was on, there was a grinding noise.. It sounded much like... well, I think it sounded kinda like a VCR VHS tape rewinding. (on top of the other engine noise).
Well, that noise has finally stopped, and no my AC is no longer blowing cold. I need to get this fixed asap, because 1) it's hot and I don't like it. 2) my wife will NOT ride in my car without the AC.
When I bought the car, I resolved to do all the work on it myself, but I really don't want to mess with the AC system... I'd rather take it to an AC place and have it fixed...
...So here is my question: Is there anything special about a Z32 that I would need to make sure the AC place knows how to deal with? For example, I've already discovered the wrong spark plugs in the car because the PO "got a tuneup" ... And I know the timing belt is our biggest achilles heel... So, with things like that, is there anything really special about the AC system that a shop would have to know in order to do it right?
OR, ... Can anyone recommend an AC shop? I guess this is more a question for my local club, but I usually take all the other vehicles to Meineke for AC work... Can I trust them with my Z?
