That's for sure! New compressor can be had for $180. Seals run $15 to $20+ depending on which compressor is on car, there are different ones, plus the tools to install them are not cheap. My set cost over $75 for this type compressor. Correct seal installation on these compressors is not easy WITH the special tools.
New compressor, IMHO, definitly the most cost effective way around problem. As long as I can get new unit for under $200 shipped to my door, I will never replace another Diesel-Kiki, Xexel, or seltec compressor seal. I have ruined more than one of those expensive seals or had old compressor crap out after putting in new seal. Don't waste time using old parts if you want it to work and not have to do same job over again. Good luck,rcs
