My A/C compressor in 11/87 325iX is shot.
I will not be doing the full R134 conversion at this time. (That will come later when I do my planned engine swap).
For 1987, RockAuto lists the following compressor kits (including accumulator/receiver/dryer):
Denso 10P15E for $291
Seiko Seiki 148DW7 for $344
Bosch for $349
For '88, Rock adds:
Denso 10PA17C for $259
All of the above from 4 seasons and available with or without a "black terminal" on the pressure switch.
(There's also a "10PA17C style" compressor from an outfit called GPD for less than $200 for the kit, but that scares me).
I don't want to spend $350 for the compressor... So between the Denso 10PA17C and 10P15E, which one should I get? What are the differences between the two? I haven't come up with much online.
