Plus it looked identical to the 13 year old original on may car.
Since ordering it (still awaiting delivery) I found out that these units are manufactured in China?

This has me a little worried now. I'd like to think with it being under the Behr/Hella brand that the quality control would be high- but you never know!
Does anyone else here have any experience with the Behr A/C compressors? Any issues to watch out for?
