Ok, A/c quit working so I took it to get serviced, the guy found a leak at one of the valves. He replaced them both, flushed out the r12 and put in the r134, picked it up that evening and it worked fine ($140.00 ). Then next morning not working again, took it back to him and he found a leak in one of the hoses, had him replace those ($100.00 ). Two days later worked for 1/2 day then quit, took it back again and now he says its the compressor. It wouldnt kick in, spins freely, jumped it, clutch kicked in but it killed the engine, he says it is building too much pressure and will run $470.00 for parts and labor :fire: . $270 for new, $340.00 for rebuilt (wierd), $100.00 for accumulator and $100.for labor. Did he shaft me or can components fail like that? He says I can replace the compressor and the accumulator myself and he will recharge it for free. He already drained the system. What do I need to look out for? O-rings, seals etc... any tips or advice is appreciated.
thanks in advance!
