Hola. I need to replace the a/c compressor (as clutch dnw- has power) and the guy at auto parts store says I also need to replace the expansion valve (for $35.00). I don't believe there are any leaks in the system as even with the clutch not working, the system does not blow hot.

Wondering if the existing expansion valve is ok, or if I need to replace.

Thanks for the replies in advance!
