If the brake cleaner question was oriented at me, no I didn't. It costs 50$ or so each time I fill up the system (recovery cost, r134a, receiver drier, o rings) - vs ~200$ for the new r4 compressor. I tend to move towards replacing anything suspect instead of wasting time & money and hoping that the old parts will work - hence my 100% complete system rebuild - well, 99% rebuild. I will have exactly two original components in the refrigerant loop, both of the metal fittings that connect to the TXV.
