Message text written by INTERNET:Jhnyrock@aol.com > The problem according to him is the air conditioning hose from the compressor to the fuel cooler. ($150.00), the GM compressor ($260.00), which he tells me is leaking from the rear plate. By the way this is for a rebuilt compressor. New schrader valves ($16.00) and $100.00 for R-12 freon. Add to this $350.00 in labor charges, plus tax is over $900.00 for what I thought was a bad expansion valve. Just remember it can always get worse!!< why don't you start with the easy repairs first; you can change the o-rings at the back of the compressor in about five minutes, and the rings will only cost you about a dollar or two. Then have your friend's dad evacuate the system and see if it holds vacuum for half an hour or so. This might not cost you anything. If it holds, you can buy enough R-406a (good R-12 substitute, available around here under the name "Autofrost") to fill your system for about $70.- In any case, if your mechanic told you he needed to replace the compressor because it was leaking from the rear plate, find a new mechanic immediately!! jb
