I have a '97 Explorer 122,000 miles V6 SOHC.
My accumulator rusted and has died. The shop said my evaporator core is leaking too. I was told $1000 to replace parts and recharge.
I am thinking about replacing the parts myself (about $200) and then taking it back to the shop to pressurize & recharge. Any thoughts on this? Should I suck it up and pay the grand for them to do it?
Parts I would replace:
evaporator
accumulator
orifice tube
misc o-rings
any advice??
