not necessarily, my maxima was done for 1/2 day, for 2,500 pesos. total general flush (pull down compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve), replace drier/reciever... palit 134a oil, freon, then viola, 134a na!

papalit ka lang naman ng compressor kung mahina/ sira na para minimize cost...ngayon i'm happy, balewala na ang hot afternoon, but evaporator totaly freezes on cold nights especially noong nag-longdrive ako...iba talaga ang nissan-calsonic!
