My Conquista, with less tahn 90K miles, has good working original factory AC that was converted to R134 at some point in the past. Lately it has developed a slow leak that I traced to the compressor, using UV dye. The leak appears as a mist of fluid between the AC clutch and the pump. Also the compressor has a noticeable rattle when operating, a little too loud I think,
I hope I can get away with simply replacing the compressor and recharging the system, but the Harrison pump is labeled for R12, and the replacements I've seen are 134.
Lots of online vendors offer pumps they claim "fit" the Conquista but I am looking for a bolt-in that does not require replacing most of the rest of the system. Also the pumps from online vendors often have very low 1-star ratings with horror stories of bad quality, leaks, rattles and so on.
Any ideas?
