At lease R4's on W123 do not have mounting bracket welds cracking. Does that afflict Klima kits also?

Re-sealing R4 compressor

Why would you think we would hope yours fails? That's silly. I certainly wouldn't wish problems on anyone. I have seen plenty of failed R4's for sure. Resealing a leaker is good, installing a more reliable compressor is wise.
