AC System Contamination from a Bad Recharge Leads to $1400+ Repair
We look at this Lexus ES350 which has AC System Contamination from a Bad recharge following an accident.
Recovering contaminated AC is an involved process. Keeping AC machines cleaned and serviced help avoid contamination which could damage the entire AC system in a Car.
In this video we look at the issue then replace the AC Compressor which stopped working following the recovery of the contamination refrigerant. As a precaution I also replaced the expansion valve due to the contamination.

    I used to have an LS430, and it was one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. I have owned several other Toyotas, also reliable. Even though I sold the LS430 in 2009, I still long for another Lexus til today. Almost bought an LS460 and a SC430, but didn't get around to it. I now choose my Lexus based on the advice from this channel. Incredibly insightful. I wish that he lives in my country (Thailand), if he does, I'd definitely own Lexus and Toyotas and he'd be my only mechanic. Keep up the great work and sincere congratulations on your first million. To have the support of your family is a true blessing. He even expressed appreciation to his team, now, that's a genuinely nice guy!
