[QUOTE="bal3056, post: 54895, member: 584"] Hi AL, long time no see. When you gonna come my house with Felix ? I waiting-lah for the PerformanceBMW UK mag April issue ... featuring my E34. Anyway, hypothetically speaking, you may be right about the advancement in compressor design, but really, advancement does not equal to durability/reliability. Personally, I've heard numerous a/c compressor related problems on the newer designs than the older ones. One of the world's best compressor designs are the ARA or Fridgeaire and now the Nippon or Denso compressors as you call it. These are still the typical cutin -cutout type and is noted for their longevity. The ARA can last at least 15 to 20 years, and the sad thing is that not many local guys have the tools to repair them, so they just died a natural death. The Denso continues to prove itself though. Just thought I share my opinion. HM [/QUOTE]
