brahma21 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Recently, the A/C in my 2000 RX 300 stopped working. According to the diagnostic light above the A/C button, the compressor has stopped working. According to the mechanic I had look at it, the compressor, accumulator and orrifice tube have to be replaced when the compressor goes out. Does anyone know if this sounds correct. Why not just replace the compressor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2000 MY just might have a worn out clutch and that is a replaceable wear part. Tell your mechanic to take a hike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
