Please, A/C Help

posted by  someone claiming to be riverol on  Sat Feb 23 14:38 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Recently, the A/C compressor on my '86 760T seized. Now, I am waiting for some parts to arrive to overhaul A/C and convert from R12 to R134. Please, tell me:

(1) What is the OEM compressor for the car? ww.airkits.com lists the Diesel Kiki DKS 15BH with two groove cluth.

(2) Is a new Seltec TM 15HD compressor a good replacement? This is what I received from Swedish Engineering, but at www.airkits.com the Seltec TM 15HD is listed as a replacement for the Sanden 508. The compressor on the car was a Seltec with R12, but with 125 mm two groove clutch. I received from Swedish Engineering a look alike compressor for R134, but with a 135 mm two groove clutch? Which is right, 125 mm or 135 mm?

(3) Factory oil type and capacity for the Seltec TM 15HD is PAG 150cc. Should I use the compressor as is with that type and quantity of oil, or should I drain and replace with ester oil in Volvo R12 to R134 conversion kit? If I should replace with Volvo ester oil, how much do I put in?

Please, help. Thank you.
