Hi,
I need to change my AC Compressor in my 1998 TA.
My local shop told me that I also need a "Trocknerpatrone" (German word) when I want to change the ac compressor.
Here is a pic of a "Trocknerpatrone"
so can you please write a list of all parts i need to order to change the ac compressor and where is the cheapest place to buy.
the ac compressor i found at ebay for 265USD maybe you know a shop which is cheaper.
When replacing the a/c compressor. It's a good idea to replace the accumulator and the orifice tube at the same time. Also you'll need some pag oil. Make sure the system has been emptied before you open the lines. It's easy to change the a/c compressor on the car. There are 4 bolts that hold it to the car and the 2 lines on the back. When you have the compressor off; take the compressor and drain the oil out of it and measure how much comes out and put that the same amount back into the new compressor. Put the new compressor, accumulator, and orifice tube on the car and get the system recharged.
hi,
do you know a shop where i can order all the parts and tell me the item numbers that i can directly order the parts from this shop?
International shipping is not needed, because my brother is going to the us for 3 month next week so the parts can be shipped to him in florida.

OK THX for the information.
Just to give him the correct buying list and the people in the shop understand what he wants to buy, I can give him the following list
--------------------------------------
1998 Pontiac Trans AM
- a/c compressor
- accumulator
- orifice tube
- pag oil
--------------------------------------
Do you know how much this would nearly be?
Is this "pag oil" something special or will the people in the shop know what it is and how much I need?

Just ounces of pag oil, anyone that deals with A/C systems will have it and know what it is. Make sure they don't go putting ester or mineral oil in
