The original compressor didn't seize. But at 20 years old, I suspect its life is limited. With R12 at $100, today I ordered a new R4 because I couldn't find the f**ing pulley for the 3-1/2 year new compressor. We flushed the system anyway. Its currently sealed up and tomorrow we'll install.

New R/D, new expansion valve, new R4 compressor. New discharge hose directly "before" the condensor. A rebuilt manifold hose and a rebuilt suction hose. All new O-rings. I went with the NEW discharge hose because it was only $37 from the dealer. The other 2 hoses are big $$ new and I noticed that the Euro has effected parts costs. That manifold hose was $305 last month. Its now $386.
