I have never had any problems with York compressors at all, but it
has been a while since I have regularly driven a car with one.
They used to be cheap to buy. I checked autozone for a quick
reference and rebuilts are 155 new are 218

I believe in originality and OE/OEM parts wherever practical,
and with the resources we have in Rusty, Kaleb and internet

However, a york rebuilt has a very short life cycle/MTBF. A new
York is a little better, but expensive. A japanese rotary used
compressor, probably has more MTBF than a new York and will be a
lot less drag on the engine. Look for a wreck with under 100k
or with an obviously new compressor. To me, in the PHX area, a
reliable A/c system is a big deal.
A 115 240D probably never going to be a museum piece, and as
long as the compressor mount is on the engine, it can always be
converted back to a york if you decide to spend the money ($30k
to 150k) to restore and show it.
good point....

A 115 240D does not have an excess of HP to to waste on a
York. The
reliability/life cycle of a york is less than a Japanese
rotary compressor.
The sanyos MB uses typically last for 200-300k miles.
why not just replace it with the proper York compressor?
They should be
easy to find new/rebuilt/

My guess is that the body is solid, if the car has always

desert. Check for rust/bondo iin the rockers, behind the
front wheel, in
front of the rear wheel and in the trunk wells. It looks
like Midnight
blue. I don't remember ever seeing that before a 123. If I
lived in Phx,
I'd pay $2000 for it if it is as good as it appears it
might be. 140k is
not that much on a OM615 I think with a litte ingenuity
you can rig a
rotary compressor from a honda/toada to fit on the
compressor mounting and
even use the original belt size. A compressor from a
u-pull should not be
that expensive. Be sure to get the manifold and a good
chunk of each hose
with it.
