Thanks Lenny,
I guess I have to go back to them and fight to have it fixed FOC.
But it aint a reputed garage and most probably they will refuse to take
any responsibility.
Do I really have to repl the exp valve, drier and compressor and flush
the entire sytem to get the ac fixed. Any short cut to cut costs???

It sounds like the compressor will need to be replaced or rebuilt.
Next, the drier really needs to be replaced. The expansion valve may be ok,
or may have crud in it.
And yes, the system needs to be flushed.
There is an argument about the ideal settings for an expansion valve and
R134a vs R12.
The valve should be intended for R134a use if that's what you end up with in
the system.
