Sydney AC? - Need to replace compressor & condenser in Sydney

[- Boony -]

Bad news...due to a worn or damaged inner bearing the AC compressor should be replaced on my Kluger. There may be some fragments in the condenser so its recommended to change that too. All up = $$$

Would a fellow member have a recommendation for an AC specialist for Toyotas in Sydney? And then a recommendation for one which is gentle on the cost? On a previous car I had a remanufactured compressor installed and that worked great for 8 years. I'll do the same or just a second hand one.

The alternative is to do it myself by sourcing the parts and then have it regased by a professional. I have the time and can deal with nuts and bolts but reading the Haynes manual it states the system is under high pressure and to discharge the system first. I have no wish to spread pollutants in the air or on the ground. I'm assuming special tools are required which makes the work beyond my capacity?

 

Cheers

In reply to my own post I took my car to JM Autoair solutions in Campsie. They found the issue which only required a new compressor rather than a complete repalcement of the whole aircon system as suggested elsewhere. Saved me about $1,500 so very pleased.
