Hi folks,
So some months ago I drove through a big puddle in my focus where the water was up to the door line and the next day the AC compressor was making noises the next day that would rise/fall with engine rpms. This weekend the AC stopped blowing air after a few hours of running but the blower fan sounded like it was still spinning. I could turn the AC off, give it some time, and turn the AC back on for a short amount of time again. Well now I'm going to change the AC compressor but do I have to change the condenser, lines, and accumulator along with the compressor? The car is only worth like $3K so I'm kind of hesitant to drop that cash on a non-critical part at the moment with temperatures calling.
Car is up on ramps at the moment because the engine mount broke and got hydraulic fluid on the accessory belt.
