Diagnosis and Part Selection Advice:
How did you know this part needed replacement? Why did you choose a certain brand/part number?
I knew because my A/C wasn't working
The diagnostics I just went to the auto A/C technician and asked them to do that, then the starting price were $1220 and $900+ was just parts like a/c compressor $550 (even in the retail store the highest price you can find is $360)a/c accumulator $145 but for reals its about $15 or if you want to buy some super cool one is $50 so don't ever believe auto service just ask for diagnostics and complete list of parts then pop the hood and find part number or ask them to open their books and write numbers down on the list and don't forget the manufacturer of each part, if you just gonna buy like 4 season a/c systems then the all parts (a/c compressor accumulator set of hoses expansion valve.... will be from 4 seasons
The best thing is to know what brand and what part number very important to know both because different manufactures have different part numbers even if the parts identical
