Hi. I need to replace the AC compressor on my '86. It is made by Sanden and is a SD510. Problem is the local VW dealer quoted me $603 (!!) and another $150 (!) for the new reciever dryer! This seems excessive - but none of the local parts sources can get me this compressor from the aftermarket. I would be willing to modify the system if needed to fit a cheaper compressor - can anyone suggest (1) a source for a cheaper OE compressor, or (2) a cheaper alternate compressor that will fit the existing bracket. Thanks in advance! Cheers, MIKE
