I bought this item from Temu, took it to the mechanic, the mechanic said it is garbage, the condenser will explode under pressure and the compressor ECV is not working
I used the jack to lift the car, back almost a year ago, the jack failed and fall on me with the car almost killed me, it was rated at 3 ton but it couldn't handle one side of the car which is 1 ton, it made several damages to the car as well I have videos of how it is failed
My car would we still in the middle of the road and one day I was turning to go home and it cut off with everything on the dashboard was still on and the power steering went out and I tried to turn real fast to get my driveway and next thing I know my Cortizone fire meanwhile every now and then I would see a light blinking my dashboard fast and then go away. It was the battery light barely show up.
