I would have to add Paulli's Imports in Rockford, Il. and Dave, one of their mechanics. He has done some great work on our VWs. He knows Veedubs and he knows diesels. Great company to work with.
That's a tough one there. Everyone will have their opinion on this one. I have been faced with a similar painful decision with my old Passat. It needs a new exhaust and we have been just pouring money into this thing in the last few years. I might fix the exhaust but then other issues might crop...

That doesn't sounds overfilled to me. I've had my air happily running with a PSI low side around 40. I think you might have a bad expansion valve. It should not be this hard to get this thing running and keeping correct pressure. Otherwise, you may have a faster leak and it is not letting the...
How do you know the refrigerant pressure is OK? Usually, if it is just a little low the compressor will not kick in and you will get no cooling. Filling it to the correct level will get the A/C working again. Just be careful not to overfill and use gauges.

I will entertain any and all reasonable offers, but act quick, this car will sell fast. If this car doesn't sell it will go to eBay for auction. Thanks.
Yeah, it did go up. Used to be $6.99/can here. Now it is $9.99/can for the basic stuff without leak sealer. If you are starting with all new o-rings and receiver dryer I would think that you can use the basic stuff plus the correct amount of PAG oil. I bet your A/c will take 2-3 cans of R134a.
I'm telling you, it will take more than one can of R134a. Look at your individuals car specs for the A/C system but I am guessing, when empty, it will take more than that. Low side, when cooling, should be in the 35-40 range.
