The reason to ask is to get second opinions on this vs. the AC shops. They are urging to change the compressor because what they say it is very weak now and cannot be fixed.
It has been like this for two years now. Last year when I get the car checked at one shop. What they did was to use their tool with two gauges hang under the hood with the car on idle and AC on. They insert only one gauge, the left one (passenger side of the car) into the connection in front of the air box. With the ac on at idle they tried to increase the acceleration and the needle of the gauge pointed to 40 and now it pointed to 50. They say it is very weak! Does the old compressor really get weak that need to change?
My city is Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The temperature during the day is 38c to 40c which is really hot!
