The easiest way to have a working a/c is replacing everything BUT that way is not the best cost effective method (shelling $1200 hard earned dollars) that is why actually diagnosing the culprit of this is extremely important, if a 40 dollar piece is actually the cause why spend $1200!! What amaze me is that the same failure pattern exists in Zexel, Denso or Sanden compressors!! It appears that Denso and Zexel uses the same RCV and Sanden compressors have a little diferent RCV, I wonder if all of those RCV are manufactured by the same supplier and that the internal mechanism of the valve is the same. It would be interesting to know more of this matter.
