I had to replace the compressor on the MV6 a couple of years back, as it would only hold refrig for about 3 months, tell tale sign of dye on the middle of the compressor.

Pinky and I did it twice - the first compressor I stole off on of his breakers when he wasn't looking had the same fault, but the 2nd one has been spot on.

Exactly my symptoms. If anyone has done a rebuild, please let us know. :y

Look on you-tube "v5 compressor rebuild" :y

Having researched swapping the AC compressor, the following points arise, upon which I would welcome any expert advice.

1. It is recommended that the system requires changing the receiver drier (where is this?)  and expansion valve (and this?) and flushing the system before regassing.

2. The compressor must be filled with the correct amount of the correct oil. I find 2 types listed, PAG100 and PAG150, and 250ml listed here http://www.compressortech.co.uk/downloads/Klitech_Wall_chart_04.pdf

The AC machine puts the oil in whilst filling with the refrigerant and UV dye.

The correct oil is pag150,the omega drier/receiver is mounted on the condenser(large container at side),and dosnt need changing,the oil would be added by the dalek,when its regassed,as for the valve i dont know.

Look at the rad you had from me Chris, drier is the cylindrical gubbins attached to it.
Access to valve is a PITA, Glove box and fan assembly out and you will see it. Securing bolt is a bitch to get to though.
