. 2 people told us the compressor works Now another says no. How can we know.

yes,i hope they got it fixed.there's a lot of complaints about that.and you are correct on the scroll valve.that's the part number i listed in my answer above,v001.

Thanks

does the compressor even come on,clutch spinning on compressor?blowing any air?

The compressor kicks in, not sure on the clutch spinning and yes it blows cold air when going at higher speeds, but when you slow down it blows hot air.

ok,if the compressor is kicking in and blowing cold air,the the clutch has to be spinning.Oh,mercy!i just found a PAGE FULL OF COMPLAINTS about the compressor going out on 05-06-07.i found that one lady that said she was quoted like $1700.00 to replace her compressor and dryer.don't know how she figured this out,but she found a part and put it in herself and it fixed it,for $40.00.then a couple more chimed in and said they did the same thing,and it fixed it.and there are more problems with this car,but i'll let you read it.copy and paste the links,read.also the part#is v001,that fixed hers and a few more.here is the company that sells that part TechChoice Parts - AC Compressor | Evaporator Core | … techchoiceparts.com>>>when you get to the website,just type in v001 in the part search bar,take a look at it.
