Yes sir. It will be a few days until April or May.

Tell me more about this. Does the system not need oil because the
compressor has oil in its crankcase?
My car was converted to 134 and I suspect the cans with oil in them
were used. Could that be the problem? Anyone think it could be
flushed out and re-charged and would work??
Randy in Winnipeg where it is cold enough that I won't need AC for a
few days

The York compressors aren't that much more expensive (Rusty's
website has gone dumb but I looked into this last summer when I
thought the compressor in my 240D had gone south) than the other
type and when you add in the conversion kit and consider the amount
you run the car the York is probably just as good a choice. I bet
somebody could replace the valves in your York even cheaper.
I lucked out, mine just needs a hose, a drier and vacuum/refill.
Supposedly the York, when operating correctly will produce some
serious cold. It sucks down HP but really does a good job. I'll
know next year.

We only get the scorched air smell when we first fire up in the fall
after the heat has been sitting off for months. Then it burns off a
bit
of dust in the first few minutes. After that, no scorch!
Actually, we are an area of extremes. Winter is cold and summer is
often
hot. We ran the AC a lot last summer.
The heat is also one of the reasons that I did not run my car much
last
summer. My AC is no longer working. I think the valves in the
compressor
must have given up as it has a charge but the high and low sides are
about even meaning I assume that it is not compressing.
Anyone have an opinion on the pros and cons of doing the swap to the
more modern sytle compressor? I see ads for a conversion with the
bracket to mount the round GM style unit in place of the old piston
style pump.
