[DML] Re: Replacing A/C Compressor





Mine was New In Box, actually. And it cost $99, not $89.95 (confused
my memory with an Autozone rebuilt for one of my other vehicles).

Vacuuming & recharging A/C is no great feat. I've done so many times
(BTW: I recently put a vacuum gauge on one of my Lincolns for the
first time in 10 years of ownership -- 22 inches. Very close to
28.whatever).

I consider whole unit replacement closer to "throw away consumerism"
than "killing flies with a shotgun". If the cost or workload were
higher I would indeed go the repair route.
