Suggest you shop your local parts stores and be sure to get a new, not remanufactured compressor. You should be able to get one for around $200.00 and you won't have shipping or a core charge. Don't cheap out on the repair. replace the dryer, orifice tube and flush the lines and condenser especially if the old compressor failed internally. If you are getting a new compressor for a shop to install be sure they do or at least list on an invoice that a complete flush, dryer and orifice tube was replaced (For warranty). Oh, replace the pressure switch if converting to 134. Don't use any blends.... |

Thanks for the suggestions. This is an existing working r134 system with what seems to be a compressor that has developed a major leak. Charge held for a week with dye remnants left on pulley face. I was kind of hoping for an inexpensive known good compressor in hopes of making sure this was my major leak. Before it had a leak that I believe I have since found and fixed that was a once a year or so charge.
