Thanks for your input!

The shaft seal was replaced but the compressor still leaks at the front
housing gasket. I wast told the odds to get the new gasket to work are so
small they wont even try it. The compressor is also a bit noisy.

> engine bracket. What was the price you were quoted ?

I was quoted about $370 for the SD7H15 here in Austria at an independent
garage. The good thing is the pulley is correct. The dealer told me it isn't
a problem to add the hi service port somewhere in the hose. I haven't been
able to find a salvage yard that would have any 9k:s. A rare car around
here.

The winter is coming rapidly so I'll probably postpone the repair to next
spring.
