'00 Voyager Compressor questions
The clutch on my '00 Voyager's compressor grenaded itself this winter.
I'm presuming the compressor siezed and the compressor engaging with the defroster caused the bearings to fail. I guess I was lucky it didn't shoot the bearings out through the radiator, and I was close enough to home that I made it home on battery with no belt turning the alternator. Now that the weather is warming up, I'm setting about the business of getting the AC system back up to snuff so that my wife and kids are happy. My research thus far tells me a clutch is nearly as expensive as a clutch and a compressor together. Here are my questions: - recommendations on buying compressor/clutch off ebay? - reman compressor/clutch combos are about half the cost of a new one (140 vs. 280). What's the life expectency of a good reman? - I know I'll want to replace the drier along with the compressor. What are the chances I'll need an expansion valve (I think Chrysler calls this an H block)? How do I diagnose the if the H block is crudded up? Throw some 134 in and see if it chills? Note: No matter what I do, I do plan to have the system evac'd, drawn down, and filled back up with the proper amount of oil and 134 when I'm done. Should I have them flush the system out when we do that? |
