who is "someone"? Do they work at JoebbbbbBoBsforeigncurrencyforgeryspecialitesandau torepair?
Did they actually diag your A/C system or are they guessing?

You'll want to take it to a reputable shop that knows saturns.

Partswapping on an A/C system is very costly. Don't go there.....get it diag'd properly -- THEN figure out if you can fix it yourself

ugh. but thanx

ugh?

If you provided things like high and low side pressures on the A/C system, we'd at least have a chance to help you....

You didn't give us enough information to even begin to diag your vehicle. Alot of A/C work CAN be DIY IF you know what the problem is.

For example --- the A/C clutch will usually stop engaging if the system pressure drops too low. This is a safety feature and does not indicate that the A/C clutch needs replacing. Or it could be a bad relay.

I could guess all day, but I'm not going to since your post indicates you're eager to part swap on seemingly a whim. So I advised you to take it to a reputable place that knows saturns cause otherwise you will part swap yourself into credit card debt.

lol ugh because i hate to have to take it to a shop. thank u for your help tho
