I want to do the job once, The compressor never locked up, but it was VERY Noisy, and was causing the car to run hot when engaged, Also it lost all the freon within 2 days, my mechanic says the leak is coming from the compressor.
I have now bought the compressor and drier from a reliable source on ebay listed on the .org should I buy the expansion valve and condenser as well?

 

I wouldnt change the condenser unless it leaking. I would get tha evaporator valve though. And flush your whole system. First time i didnt flush and my evaporator valve clogged up.

 

+1

 

Yeah worried about the Expansion Valve, Worst case scenario the condenser you can get rebuild at any radiator shop for way less than $92, and its OEM

 

Thanks, I'll add the expansion valve!
Thank for the input guys.
Any good sources on where to get a flush for cheap? I checked a local shop and he said $290 :x

 

you sound like you have the same problem as me. How much did you pay for your a/c compressor? (and where did you get it?).

my local mechanic does "flush/refill" for the cost of the free-on plus like 40 bucks labor.

 

I paid 215 with the drier/accumulator to coldair09 on ebay(195 for just the compressor). I read an older thread that had recommended them.
As a side note, is he doing a Flush and refill or just an evac and refill? The difference could be of great detriment to your new compressor. Get it flushed is what I have heard on here as well as other mech sites.

Sorry, the seller was actually cold9air

 

ahh I see. Hmm I don't remember anything about a "flush" actually. I think maybe he was just evacuating and refilling, but I will definitely ask him about it.
I was thinking of getting one of these Spectra brand reman. compressors off Rock Auto for 165.

okay i see cold9air.. looks promising.
