The scuttlebutt a couple years ago was that reman R4 compressors weren't worth the trouble. Are you running R12 or R134A? R-12 uses mineral oil, which is benign. There is an issue with one type of oil used with 134 which kills AC systems fast. As I recall, it generates acid when it meets H2O.

I put a new unit in 2 years ago with new dryer and expansion valve. This was done by a professional. not me. Is there a specific brand compressor I should be purchasing? Jabba, can you supply me with a quality compressor, dryer and expansion valve for a reasonable price?
