1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Sedan 4-Door 3.8L 3800CC 231Cu. In. V6 GAS OHV Supercharged that started misting out the vents with the AC on max, we had been driving about 4 hours on a very hot day. The mist lasted about 10-15 seconds then started blowing neutral air, no greasy or antifreeze type smell. Is this indicative of the compressor or am I out of freon? I took it to a shop and they quoted me over $1300!!! saying the compressor is bad, although it's turning on it's not circulating. I found a compressor repair kit online that includes: One Remanufactured Compressor: 10-987 One New Drier: 60-33214 New Orifice Tube: 90-38623 One New Seal Kit: MT2540 8oz Can PAG150 Oil.....for $150. I'm sure I can find someone to install it if the compressor is really the problem. I know it will need to be vacuumed etc so I can't do it myself. Advice?? This is the link to the repair kit I found on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130503307226#ht_3789wt_1010 I don't want to buy junk parts but this seems reasonable vs the $450 the garage quoted me, not to include the other stuff.
Misty is a normal occurrence
physics thingy
inside car temp hotter than out side the car so mists
or other way around then normalizes
ebay
thats a good kit and you will do well with it
a regular mechanic can fit those
have it gased elsewhere ..... where the price is right
not that bad a DIY
to install those components is possible if you have the time and skill level
just have to watch you dont burn yourself as you degass the cars current system
its just the air con people want to sell you a new compressor etc
usually you can get a good used AC compressor from a wrecking yard
