2003 X-Type A/C problem
#21
Am I reading the TSB correct?
It basically says to remove and install the same parts besides the O ring?
I called jaguar in hopes of buying a new spring, valve, filter but they told me all these parts are not available and you would have to buy the entire compressor.
Did they discontinue selling these items? I can't understand how removing and reinstalling the same parts would fix the problem.

Hi I have a simular problem, while driving the air is cold as soon as I stop turns warm, took to a reapir shop and I was told that my compressor was leaking oil and the pump on the inside was not functioning properly, so I would need a new compressor/dryer/hose, is this possible?
Thanks

Steve, thanks for the TSB reference. I do have one question prior to undertaking the process.
The TSB states to recover the refrigerant in the system prior to undertaking the process. I'd presume from this caution that the valve is located at a part of the compressor that is under pressure. But you know how some factory instructions are written...overly cautious.
I just wanted to check to see if recovering the refrigerant first is in fact necessary. I certainly don't want to open the valve under pressure!
If you can advise, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Though it's better said, reverse it, rather than replace it.

Good point! I called the place that charges a lot of money to see just how much they would want thinking it would under $200 and I just have them do it and not get my hands dirty. LOL they wanted $300 and $26 for the o-ring. What a joke for .2 hours of work.
He did tell me that they would check the blend door actuator because that causes problems too That is sure nice of them. I read that on here already.

Sorry, I didn't know that there were some on here that had their feelings hurt so easily. Never had that problem on the Goldwing or Lincoln forums. I won't use the word anymore to describe how much dealerships charge.
