I Need to Chill Out
Sorry for the bad title. Anyway, I need a new AC compressor. If anyone knows a good place to order one online, throw some links my way.
Thanks!

Re: I Need to Chill Out
I picked one up at the scrap yard for $75. It came with a 90 day warranty. Had to take the first one back, but the second one has been running great for almost two years.
Remember when you replace it to have the system vaccumed and also replace th oriface tube - that is kind of like a filter for the AC line as I understand it. Also, when you have the system recharged make sure they include the oil that is required for the system, otherwise you wil be replacing the compressor again - shortly. Good Luck.

Re: I Need to Chill Out
I keep hearing about this "oriface tube" (orifice?). Where do you get one?
I have the same problem with mine. My compressor is starting to seize up.

Re: I Need to Chill Out
What exactly happens if the oil isn't added with the recharge? I got this done lately and now I need a new A/C compressor because it started leaking bad and it won't hold any refridgerant.

Re: I Need to Chill Out
If youre system was low on oil it would end up burning up the bearings on the compressor. But, if thats the original compressor it could be more likely thats why it needed to be refilled to begin with.
