well my girls vw passat's a/c crapped out on us. im guessing the compressor went bad cuz i vacuumed out the freon and added new freon and it still blew hot. i purchased a new compressor, expansion valve, and condensor. they say when the compressor goes out that it sends metal shavings through the a/c lines so i need to get them flushed before i put all the new components in. I called a few shops to do a flush for me but they said they will only do it if i allow them to put the a/c parts in it as well. and they want $1400 bucks to install the compressor and condensor and exp valve. so i wanted to know if anybody knows a shop or any person that can help me flush these lines. thanks fellas

 

use brake clean, and then blow it out with shop air. if your doing the repairs yourself you dont need a shop. take off each line, and spray it and blow out the excess. also you can spray out the evap core, but replace the condenser and accum/dryer along with the expantion valve.

 

well thats the thing, the links are really hard to take out from the looks of it. if i can get them out tomorrow then it wont be a problem, but if i cant take them out, its gunna be a challenge to flush them correctly
