Had a shop tell me our compressor is leaking and they recommended doing a a/c system overhaul for $1150. I barely have 11 bucks let alone 1100, so I was going to buy all the parts myself and install them. The list I have together so far is
1.)Compressor
2.)drier/accumulator
3.)expansion valve for rear a/c
4.)orifice tube for front
Question 1, am I missing anything? Question 2, where are the expansion valve and orifice tube located on these things? Also, autozone offers a variable orifice tube that's supposed to be better at lower rpm and in places with hotter temps...like Phx. Is this actually worth it, or is it a load of garbage and I should just get the cheap one? I plan on flushing the system before I install everything and just having the shop fill it for me. Thanks for any input.
