2020 Jetta Ac repair

Post by Cygnus »

Hi
I have a 2020 Jetta with no functioning Ac.
I had difficulty finding a shop to service the 1234yh refrigerant so I ended up at the dealer.
The quote was 4500 dollars Canadian.
Well i guess I am rolling the windows down.
Was told the compressor was getting power but had failed internally.
They recovered160 grams and charged with 460.
Found small leak at low Shrader. Recommend new line
New compressor,Ac flush ,insert,expansion valve,

I am very mechanically capable ( timing belts engine installs etc.) but I am not very familiar with Ac systems.
So I am trying to plan where to start .

Fist thoughts Replace compressor with reman OEM from eBay or used local salvage.the compressors were used in alot of models.
Replace low pressure line or can I just replace the Shrader valve or seal .
Replace expansion valve and filter.
Buy some proper gauges and fill with 134a.
With them recovering the 1234fy do I need to vacuum down the system?
The dealer told me I could save the 1200 for the flush,but they probably wouldn't warranty the compressor.
Is the flush required?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
