Is the accumulator the place where that special A/C mould grows? If so ... you might want to replace it - how much are they quoting anyway?

They quoted me $595.00 to replace the compressor and drier. Since I figured you're halfway there when the compressor is off, I also asked about changing the timing belt (I'm at 180k), and they quoted me and additional $270.00. This is all labour, as I already have the parts.
