Bad AC - Toyota Yaris Forums

My A/C blows hot. The shop quoted my $1900 for a new high pressure switch, metering device, evap coil, filter dryer, and compressor. It just started happening. I read pressure on the lowside and it was around 100 psig. I did not have the fitting to do the high side (i'll be buying that tomorow). There are no bubbles in the sightglass and it looks like the refridgerant is not moving.

Could I just buy the compressor, high pressure switch, and vaccume pump and hope for the best? Or should I replace the whole system like they suggested? A rebuilt compressor is only $400 and comes with a 2 year warranty.
