Replace your r12 with HotShot it's the direct replacement and sell for
10.00/lbs.

Hi Volks,

I think my 18 year old Sanden compressor on my '84 Westy is probably
leaking
around the main shaft seal as its lost a lot of this years charge of
R12.
I have used a sniffer and not been successful in finding a leak that
way,
back and front and inside.
Is it possible to get a rebuild kit for these compressors and replace
the
seal, valve plate etc?
I will probably change over to R134a though I hate to, but before I do,
I
want to make sure the compressor is up to snuff.     The R134a will
probably
leak faster otherwise.
I'm retiscent to replace the compressor if I can repair
it.......Scottish
blood probably.
Any one done this already ?
Thanks,
Steve Cotsford
