I accept responsibility for all of the AC work, we will just classify that as education. The problem is that it is still not working right, and it keeps turning on and off when I am idling, which is why the mechanic said that I need to replace the expansion valve. I understand that when you do that, you also need to replace another component or two, and had read that you should replace all of that any time that you have a leak in the system.

So, unfortunately, I am not over the hump yet, need to replace the timing belt in 3,500 miles.
