I took a look at my maintenance records and the comments from the shop on the diagnosis...the surging stopped when they manually cut off the AC while driving. I am confident enough in their abilities and honesty that I will either purchase the parts and do the job myself or allow them to do it.
Assuming the AC system has been evacuated of refrigerant, what issues could come up when replacing the compressor? Is there some great danger if air gets into the lines, even though Im having the system evacuated, recharged and oiled at a professional shop?
I looked at my automotive manual and laid hands on the compressor itself...doesnt look like a terrible job and, short of the aforementioned great danger of damaging my AC system by DIY, I want to takle it. $1100 quoted from shop...I can get a brand new Denso compressor and dryer for $500 total...
Thanks
