I recently had a new A/C Compressor installed due to the previous one finally dying. The new one worked fine for a couple of weeks and then also failed. The mechanic has told me that it was a faulty compressor and that was why it started jamming. Could this second failure have been caused by the system not being flushed prior to the fitting? Should I also replace the Condensor as well as getting a flush done. It is starting to get expensive so I would like to know the recommendation with regards to the process before I buy another new compressor and hand it over to the mechanic.

You were right about needing a flush, that's the right way to do it. Pieces of the old comp. are floating around inside the system, and will be til you get rid of them. I know I've cheated before, but I've been caught, too.
