Hi, how long do air con pumps/compressors last if they haven't been used in a while. Do the internal parts seize up or seals rot if the car air con has not been run?
I'm taking parts off a mates kaput A4 B6 before he scraps it and wondered if i could install his pump on my car (both b6 one 5 speed manual other 6 speed auto). His air con has not worked for a few years (vcds reports pressure sensor g65 fault so stuck on ECON) but he has had it re-gassed previously and said it used to work fine. It's a non runner so i'm not able to install a new sensor on and run it up to check. Any ideas? cheers.
