Does anyone have diagrams/descriptions for A/C? Want to read up... (1 Viewer)

My aircon needs attention. Took it to one place who quoted me AUD$900 worth of work, which includes a new compressor.

I have a second place lined up for a second opinion.

My trouble is that i don't know much about aircons as this is the first car i've had with one fitted. I want to know how they all screw together and the parts of it, so i can get my head around the system before i take it the second place for a quote.

Also what constitutes a knackered compressor..? Just because it needs new seals and re-gassing, would that automatically mean new compressor..?

Any advice, hints/tips, etc, would be greatly apreciated ~PHIL
