Subject:What might be wrong with this AC system?
From:Killer Banshee Productions - Kriss De Jong
Date:Mon, 23 Aug 1999 14:23:18 -0700

I've had the receiver/dryer and compressor replaced. 2 compressors
have gone out in the last month...I just got a call back from the
shop and was told that there are small metal flakes in the system
that is doing this. (contamination). He told me originally that he
flushed the system.

Now he says that the only way to get rid of the contamination is to
boil out each of the parts for the AC system.

So my question I guess is this...is this REALLY how you get rid of
contamination in an AC system and how much should this cost if that
is how it has to be done?

I have to tell him first thing in the morning to go ahead or not.
TIA,
Kriss
