So I’ve finally had an AC issue in my 2000 4Runner that has about 330k miles on it. I drove through a field that had a bunch of plants with some kind of dandelion-type fuzz and it clogged my radiator. I pressure washed it off, but I think I may have nicked my condenser in the process, because my AC started to get worse yesterday and was totally gone today. I shot a can of R134 in and it started cooling again, so the system itself is healthy. Can I get away with replacing the condenser and drier myself and having a shop vac the system and fill it? Or should I suck it up and get a set of gauges and a vacuum pump? Also, will I have to figure out the oil thing if I don’t see any leaked out? Should I just measure how much was in the condenser and add that much back?

Update on my 4Runner ac problem: Well, the problem wasn’t my condenser. The bolts that hold up the drier worked their way loose, so it dropped down and the liquid line from the condenser to the evaporator was resting on the core support and it wore a hole in the line. It’s an $8 part, so I’m gonna get a new line, new drier, and some o-rings, shove some refrigerant in the son of a bitch and call it good.
