    As above, you can pick up a new genuine compressor for $600/650 here in Brisbane. Fairly simple to replace if your half handy, just the re-gas obviously needs to be done by a tech.

    best R32?

    Of the R32's, which would be the most desirable. I'm guessing a 2 door first, but what about manual v DSG, and colours?

    And, did Australia ever get any red ones?
