Mechanic advice - is this right?

[Jmac]

Control valves are more faulty on these compressors than the comps themselves albeit they do fail, you need to also factor in a new dryer cartridge , not a conventional type it fits into the condenser, and good luck flushing the condenser, it s parallel type therefore almost impossible to do so , so if its that bad you need a Condenser too. Yep all adds up. And to be honest get one little link wrong on this chain and you will be doing it again in 6mnths, yep im mr positive. Seen it too often face on

Yep agree with jmac. When a compressor failed internally/catastrophic failure everything was removed/stripped then the entire system was then flushed (evaporator and lines) using a liquid flushing agent until it was completely cleaned and free from debris then everything was replaced.
If this was not done failure would reoccur shortly after. Unfortunately if this has happened to anyone this is the correct procedure to repair.

Thanks all, I'm happy to source a new condensor if required, but Id like to know how to check if their is swarf in the system? Would removing the TX valve and inspecting it for swarf provide a good indication? Obviously I only want to replace what's needed.
