Poll, aircondition compressor lifetime 900

Hi there,

What do you think is the expected lifetime of an aircondition compressor during normal operation?
It's not been damaged (that I know of) but I just don't get very good performance anymore. The ECC is on it's third condensor, at least, and for each replacement I think it's cooling a little less.

It's the original compressor since 93 and there is soon 480000 kms on the clock
(30 kmiles). Since it's a mechanical component it must eventually wear out at some point in time. I've googled but not found what could be expected.

Are there any simple tests I could do to tell a worn compressor from low level of R134A in the system? The compressor is not cycling on a 26 degree day in the sun (79 F)
