Last season I had my evaporator and accumulator replaced by a mechanic. Now my condenser has a hole in it and I am going to replace it.
1. What suggestions does anyone have on what all I need to replace?
2. Do I really need another Accumulator?
3. Does anyone know if a new condenser comes with any orings for the lines which attach to it?
4. Isn't there a filter in line somewhere? And should it be replaced if it never has before?
5. The guy at the parts store told me that if I lost the freon, then I lost oil with it. I can see losing a little bit of oil, but not all of it. Is that true?
6. If I vacuum the system, will it pull the oil out?
7. Does the vacuum attach at the schraeder valve?
8. What is recommended to do to fill it back up with oil?
9. Some freon has oil in it and some does not. Which should I use?
10. How much oil?
11. How much freon? I think it calls for 2.03lbs. How many cans is this?
Thanks.
