95 960 A/C Clutch & Compressor Replacement 900

posted by  someone claiming to be 960 Bricskter on  Fri Aug 7 02:59 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Well it has been a chilly summer, but not in my 95 960. The air died and I understand that the A/C clutch is toast.

I have to decide whether to replace the clutch and compressor, or just the clutch, and whether to buy used, rebuilt, or new. New clutch & compressor is about $599, $360 clutch alone, and $300 to install. Any ideas here, and where to go for them?

If I do this I am assuming I need to do a full evac and recharge. Is it a good idea to replace the receiver/dryer and orifice valve at the same time? Trying to decide best course of action.
