I got the Engine Hot - A/C Off message on the dic for the second time. Engine not hot. Temp gauge reads low.
The first time it happened a mechanic friend reset the error code and I was ok for a couple of months.
This time, I figured I better take it in to the dealer.
Dealer said I need a new thermostat. I read on this and other forums that that usually fixes this problem.
He said the thermostat is really hard to get at so he needs 3 hrs to do the change. Plus he has to FedEx the thermostat and gasket from the States to Canada bringing the total cost up to almost $600.
Is it really that hard to change the thermostat? I don't even know where it is.
