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.imack,Apr 22 2008, 07:32 PM Wrote:My A/C compressor needs replacing, as it been leaking slowly since last fall.ÃÂ The shop recommended that the accumulator/drier be replaced at the same time.ÃÂ Just wondering if this is worth it, or are they just trying to getÃÂ a little extra money out of me?[right][snapback]262657[/snapback][/right]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?
