jeepmjga Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 So in my theme of just replacing instead of repairing I am looking to get my A/C working again with the fast approaching Georgia summer temps. So any advice/help would be appreciated. I am looking to just replace all my A/C equipment and was starting to make a list. Obviously I would like to just do r134 instead of r12, the system is already empty of refrigerant but I was looking to replace the compressor, condenser, lines, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver/dryer, and I figure even the heat seems to work fine I might as well replace the heater core while I'm in there. Am I missing anything on the list? I am fairly new to working on HVAC stuff but my other question is if I am just replacing everything can I just put in all the new parts and charge the system and thats it? I was planning on getting a vacuum manifold set as well to refill. Another question is if I were to order all this stuff from rockauto would it all be ready for r134 already? I looked in the DIY section and have read the A/C refurb write up but as I said I'm pretty new to HVAC stuff so any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75sv1 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I'd look at this thread: Also, look at Limey's Thread. I'd get a brass/copper heater core. I'd do '97+ parts. I'd proably look around and see what it cost for someone to vaccum your system and put in the refrigerant 134. I think it takes PAG 100. I did my 2000 XJ last year. Also, 'redid my '98 XJ. I did buy a 'rebuilt' AC Compressor off of EBay. Buy the compressor with the clutch pulley already installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
