Steve,

Open your rear decklid. Look on the INSIDE the upper part of the decklid. If you see somewhat of a line of oil or black stuff on the decklid, thats usually a good sign that the seal on the compressor has gone out and is leaking. Those are overhaulable BTW, but takes some good hands on knowledge. I never buy used, but spend the extra $$ on a new compressor, you just cannot tell if an overhauled unit is good or not.

The fan in the front of the car on that condensor must work or your pressures in the A/C system will get high and something will either leak or blow. The fan up front should have a fuse in-line to it, otherwise they have been known to catch fire. The fan can sieze and then overheats and can cost you the car, so the fuse is a good idea.

The double rear fans on the rear condensor are a good question. Some people like them for pulling air through the condensor at idle. Some people say they are not worth it.

Am guessing the two relays are for the two fans. Appears that someone did a good installation job and would hope that the hoses are the barrier type.

BTW, the colored cap on the compressor designates that the system has been converted to R-134.

Hope this helps,

Joe A

PS we are not debating. Many of us pinned our hopes on this "new style of condensor" then got yanked around by the product never being available. Look elsewhere for products if you decide to upgrade, this guy is not worth waiting on.
