Also still going strong... Posted by AdamB [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Lifespan of 95 CS AC System with original compressor?, Richard Chang, Fri, 1 Jun 2007 10:02:20 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
with original compressor at 200k miles on a '96 9000 (from december 1995). It's essential to keep it topped up with refrigerant/lubricant since it's what keeps the seals alive. Also running the AC regularly is key to avoiding dried out seals.
I know a guy who owns one of those computer controlled hightech AC maintenance machines that you just hook up and then push a button, so I get very frequent checks for only the cost of the refrigerant and oil. I'd guess that the compressor could last at least the life of the engine if you keep on top of the maintenance.
