For two glorious weeks I had working A/C in my 91 245. After charging it up two weeks ago, on my drive to work the compressor locked up. Oh well.

The car has been converted to R134, but there are a few compressor options out there. Are there any to stay away from? Is there one brand that are always reliable?

Here are the options I've found so far:
* Rock Auto has Four Seasons, both new and reman.
* Rock Auto also has a GPD brand compressor (Diesel Kiki?) I have never heard of this brand.
* FCP has Genuine Volvo, Air Products, & Omega
* eEuroparts has Seltec

I am inclined to go with the Air Products from FCP since it's about the middle price-wise, and also an R134-only compressor, but I want to hear anyone else's experience before laying down cash.

Thanks as always everyone!
