Stephen;
1.) Global warming is a myth.
2.) You are not responsible for manufacturer's quality control.

That is one of the toughest and most frustrating fixes when it is the new part that is bad. You go crazy checking everything else because it can not be the new part you just installed, Wrong!

Marty: In this case, it might be somewhat easier to accept seeing as ALL pieces of the A/C system have been replaced. It surely doesn't make it any easier to accept. I remember working on power steering with Steve and when it was all put back together and we started car and turned the steering wheel we had leakage!!! I couldn't have been more frustrated at that moment!

P.S. Neil is a Saint-in-waiting!!

Two consecutive power assist valves that were bad, NAPA didn't have any more in stock and Stephen had to head home. I felt like I'd failed him, but what can you do when new parts fail and you're under a time constraint.

You did not fail me Steve...the parts did.

I got this piece of advice long time ago: You do what you can with what you've got in the time you're given...
