My mechanic told me i need to replace compressor because it warped do to heat. It will clutch and work when freon it in system, but will only last for 2 weeks or so. He told me i need new compressor and accumulator (should be replaced in process), orifice tube and to do a/c flush. My question goes as if i take orifice tube out and find that there are no debris, can i use this as indicator not to do flush and just replace components? visa versa too. Thanks.

Your Condenser is not flushable anyway Hmm, the mechanic said "A/C Flush" but he did not quote me on condenser replacement. Maybe he was going to flush tubes and evaporator minus condenser. let me know if I am missing. Thanks.

As said. HE condensers can't be flushed. You can if you lay one flat on a picnic table and use about 400 gallons of lacquer thinner. Let the techs do their job as seen fit. They have this in front of them, we don't, T
