Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Dealer just called to let me know they suspect leakage behind the front bumper. And they need to take off my TechArt kit to fix it. They are scared of breaking my bumper. Has anyone had this problem before? BTW, during my first visit, they did the discharge and refill. That didn't work.

POST 2Original post

There have been some reports of minor A/C refrigerant leaks, usually in the A/C radiators, which are behind the front bumper - so it's not unheard of. From what I recall, all were fixed with no more problems. I hope they're careful with your kit. brad

POST 3Original post

The leak has been identified coming from a hose that runs across the front bumper. The dealer is charging me for the replacement because of my modified TechArt which they claim voids the warranty. Obviously I am very unhappy with that.

POST 4Original post

I would appeal to corporate; they should cover the cost. That is bad dealer service.

POST 5Original post

All I can say is that I have been totally surprised on how well the Cayman airco works! I had some fears that the motor being so far from the grill might somehow lessen the efficiency, but in hot California valley weather (95+ degF) it holds at 70 deg easily. I hope the incidence of such leaks, whatever is low -- better for the Cayman community as a whole. Good luck in troubleshooting your system. D

Sounds like they don't have much competition to which they worry you'd abscond...
