Air Conditioning problem
1996 Volkswagen Jetta 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

How hard is it to replace the air conditioner and then refill it with refridgerant?

Basically my ac compressor seized up. Is there a place I can go to find out how to replace it and is it hard? thanks

can go to autozone and pick a subscripton to alldata for you particular vehicle. Replacing the compressor isnt that bad. You might have to put your vehicle in service position(removing the bumper). The part you have to go to a shop for is emptying the refrigerant and putting it back in.
