hi im having trouble with my a/c system took my 06 X to the dealership and they told me that the a/c compressor is damaged and needs to be replaced because it's clogging the expansion valve with white particules they showed me the pictures and also told me the condenser has to be replaced too althought they charged the system and it's working fine can somebody tell me about the a/c system and if i really need to change those parts thanks.

The white flakes are coming from the inside walls of the compressor and at some point it will no longer seal good enough for the system to work correctly anymore. So, yes it needs to be replaced and typically when you replace the compressor the condenser is replaced too; especially if there is contamination in the system.
