Hey all,
Last winter I broke my A/C condenser when driving through snow. The snow pressed against it and cracked it. I have been very busy and have not had the chance to replace it until now. Clearly the system has been open a while (3.5 months), and I have spoken to a few mechanics who say I will need an orifice tube and a drier (the canister looking thing in the back passenger side of the engine bay). But after reading on here, some people were mentioning that certain o-rings need replaced, and maybe even other components. My uncle is a mechanic and he is going to help me vacuum, lubricate, and recharge the system. I plan on buying a condenser, orifice tube, and drier. Is there anything else I may need?
Need some advice on parts for A/C system
