I just bought a 94 ES 300 and of course the first day it hit 90+ the AC quit. Now it is going through the same thing as discussed in several posts here, so I suspect it is the expansion valve as it comes and goes.
So a couple of questions.
1. Why would you have to replace the receiver/dryer for an expansion valve?
2. Anyone know the general cost? And can I do it myself and have someone else vacuum and recharge? I saw where the valve is about $50, and the dryer is also about $50. Now that is me buying it and not add on for a repair shop.
Thanks
