At 160 Kmi the AC compressor on my 1995 525 developed a noise (when the AC is activated), and now the compressor will seize as the engine RPM is increased (the compressor stops rotating and the belt slips). I hope that the compressor has not been damaged to the point of "Black Death" http://www.ackits.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=black%20death
Planning to replace the compressor/clutch and the accumulator/drier. The coolent appears to be r134, so other than having an AC shop recover the Freon, and replacing all Orings. I wonder if there are other suggestions from board members.
Some questions:
1. Do the replacement compressors come with the compressor oil or does it need to be ordered separately?
2. Is it necessary to put some refrigerant oil in the accumulator/drier before evacauting and recharging the system.
