All right, it was the compressor, not the freon level.
Now, the new one is offered by Signature LV for like $260.
The other option is Ebay's remanufactured one. For the price of $230 they offer a kit containing:
NEWLY REMANUFACTURED COMPRESSOR WITH CLUTCH AND ONE-YEAR WARRANTY*
1 - NEW FILTER DRIER
1 - NEW EXPANSION VALVE
8 - OZ. OIL FOR 134A SYSTEMS (PAG OR ESTERS)
What's in your opinion is a better choice considering the insignificant diff of 30 bux?
Thanks.
