How long was your warranty & how many hours is that extending in it by ?
Fendt aircon warranty ?
- Thread starter Clive
- Start date
First thing tomorrow morning get on phone
to dealer But don’t be polite… kick up almighty fuss then put bad feedback on their website
That’s what I would do but I would have done it long before 10 days of warranty remaining

Formal notice under sale of goods act - reject the tractor and demand full refund.
So your typical agricultural dealer mechanic will fix tractors, combines, drills, sprayers, implements and a host of other bits and pieces. Engines, gearboxes, electrics, hydraulics, bodywork, paint spraying, fabrication and welding. When you can't get your combine, sprayer or drill to work right you will expect the mechanic to come and sort that too. And now he has to be an air con expert too. Problem is they don't get enough practice doing it. Better going to a proper A/C specialist who does that stuff all day every day, unfortunately he won't know how to even start a modern tractor, let alone knowing where to find and how to get to a component like the expansion valve.
In your specific case I would say you need to find a better A/C specialist, your dealer and the manufacturer should understand this and pay for the outside service ( but maybe just the once )

Does that work for a business purchase ?
It’s not a consumer purchase ….

To be honest, my comment was tongue in cheek, and I have no idea beyond google. I suspect that there is some contract law/ pressure that could be brought to bear though, but IANAL.

It sounds like it need nitrogen pressure tested Clive as some are so small they don’t show up under normal circumstances

Obviously have not seen the tractor and would not commit to any distance diagnosis, but having replaced double figures of evaps in newer Fendt's I'd be fairly confident in saying that is your issue.

I’m sure it was 1200 to extend my Valtra warranty up to 5000 hours 5k seems extortionate

My concern would be even if something is done now….what would you do if 3 months you found the issue still existed and whatever work was done now (however little or large) still hadn’t sorted it?
i don’t care who fixes it, just trying to work out who should pay for it when its under warranty still
In short not you.

Fendt or the dealer?
If it's the dealer, bypass them and escalate it with Fendt or Agco, whoever you can get.
I can't figure out why the AC unit wouldn't be warranty, if the system is sealed properly there should be no reason to regas it, there for there is a faulty part

We had to replace evap on a 1050, and know several others in the states had the same problem, leaking evap....fendt had a bad shipment of evaporaters I believe. Can't remember if ours was covered under warranty so I'm not much help....3 yr /3000 hr warranty from new is bumper to bumper but it doesn't cover consumables....@FendtRunner86 didn't you have to replace a leaking evap on one of yours?

Having never owned a tractor with manufacturer warranty I’m not quite sure of the ins and outs but I wouldn’t think it unreasonable to ask the dealer for a copy of warranty paperwork and get him to show you the bit that says the aircon (which is factory fit) isn’t covered.
Have they been paying to recharge it upto now

i know its a different climate, but here, A/C work is CRUCIAL for any ag dealers. In fact, I would say that the MAJORITY of A/C work would be in the ag / earthmoving / transport sectors
I would generally take a car to an ag dealer for any A/C work, as THEY are the ones with all the experience
In response to the OP question - I CANNOT understand how A/C ISNT included in warranty on a modern tractor with a fully enclosed cab ????
