Hey all,
My parents' '06 w/ 135k miles is at the dealership for a AHC leak (reservoir was found empty 2 days ago). They are saying there's a leaky outlet line at the accumulator and that because of rust, they are very confident that the accumulator will need replacing as well as the inlet line, again, because of rusty fitting.
Bottom line, $2800 for accumulator, outlet and inlet lines out the door. Other lines look good but didn't get neutral pressures or gradations for a better picture on overall health. This is a CT vehicle so it does see salt/winter and the underside shows it (not terrible but not great)
Time to switch to conventional or suck it up and pay? Money isn't a huge concern but they don't like to throw it at problems and hope it fixes it. AHC is liked by my parents because they are getting old and it's useful to help load, get in/out etc.
Tagging @PADDO because they want a decision quickly.
