Yes and mine needs a an AC compressor.
Had one put in last year, seems like the mechanic thought he would get away cheap on me and put in a cheap garbage. It lasted for a few weeks and never got around to fix it untill last week where I went back to see what's what and he told me there's a bad compressor, Lol.
His guys spent 4-5 hours fiddleing with the car to replace it. That's what happens when you try to get away cheap, you end up paying expensive.
I never did any research on replacing one of these things, just from the amount of time seems like a big job to replace.
You willing to take on this job, hands on?
You related to CM? You guys have a lot in common. Wouldn't call you du·plic·i·tous, your kind of the opposite of that in many ways, but one guy playing two people.
