Air con re-charge 2010 RX450

[2ddesign]

Hi Just had my 100,000 service completed at Lexus Bristol. I had noticed a noisy ventilation fan when the air-con was on. On investigation there is a leak so the quote is....

My quote was £232 for the high pressure hose which was leaking and £80 for a re gas of the system total £312 + VAT.

Why are these hoses so special and so expensive?

Maybe get a 2nd quote from a trusted, local specialist?

Lexus will replace, someone else might 'fix' it?

Thanks for the reply Piers!

Can any one in Cardiff recommend a local specialist?

Doesn't sound unreasonable. It's worth using OEM parts for something like this imho.
