That's kind of what I was thinking, but let's say the sake of argument that you could flush and replace the compressor all by itself. If you were the dealer, would you be willing to warranty the repair with a system that has been "compromised"? If you were the customer, would you be willing to get the repair done with the apriori knowledge that your $650 compressor might be at risk?

Now, if you pulled a compressor from a Pick-A-Part and handed it over to a private A/C shop or DIY, then you may be willing to roll the dice.
