A/c

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?

If by diagnostic you mean the indicator is flashing on and off it does that when the compressor clutch is engaged but the compressor doesn't turn in sync with the engine. A 2000 MY just might have a worn out clutch and that is a replaceable wear part.

Tell your mechanic to take a hike!
