Had it fixed yesterday while doing my 100K service.

Once you see that Green, it will slowly die and you get the swishing sound.

Hi, Thanks Roche.

It was a sizable puddle from the get go and within the day it was noisy in side the car. The Wife took the car to Berwick today and the confirmed my diagnosis and will fix it on the 28th of Sept. They want $300 to R&R the bullbar though... which they can stick! I could argue that I should not be out of pocket for their faulty product but i might just remove it myself and take it to Jeep Mad Max style.

Knox did mine totally under warranty, including remove and refit of ECB bar...

Suggest you try a new dealer, but act dumb as to
(A) what problem is
(B) why you went there.

Yep same on my 2013 about a year ago. They removed/reinstalled my ARB bar and replaced under warranty.

Yeah, I might have to have a talk to the dealer about the bull bar.

Update (delayed):

I got the condenser replaced a few weeks ago at Berwick CJ. I spoke to Louise in service and after explaining the way the Bull bar came off and on to the Foreman there was no additional charge for removal. If anyone in the Vic south eastern region still goes to the dealer and wants a 'normal' person to talk to in service I would highly recommend they speak to Louise at Berwick.

Looks like mine has fallen for this one.

I had swooshing sound and blowing hot air. Took it to an a/c place when they serviced and re-gassed but after a week it all happened again.

I have not looked for the liquid so will do that but I guess after so long it might be out of it.

It's out of warranty to so sounds like I need to dig deep to fix it. Especially given the Uneek bar needs to come off.
