Sounds like either my compressor or clutch bearing went out It cools pretty well but it got really noisy after tightening the belt.

I figure It would be best to put a new compressor, receiver and expansion valve and be done with it. Trouble is, I'm having trouble picking out parts.

The comp. Looks like a regular Sanden unit which is good so I just need to make sure it has the right head to match the hose manifold. Same with the TXV but the receiver/drier has me stumped. It looks like it is an assembly with both an accumulator and a receiver drier?

Any help finding the proper receiver/accumulator/whatever would be great.

Thanks

 

I hate bumping bumping my own thread but I want to order parts today. Any help would be great.

Hi Jon,
For my 94 I got the expansion valve and rec/dryer tank at a local foreign car parts store. Both were available overnite and less than $100.00 total which I thought was very reasonable. And you are correct that the tank in front of the condensor is rec/dryer/accum combo. Cary

 

Thanks, I found it. Long horizonal sucker above the condenser...

The aluminum "cans" on the compressor manifold are a bit of a mystery though.
