Andrew,
IIRC, you have an R4 compressor, same as mine in the 116 300SD. I've
used a Harrison (GM/Delco) labeled used compressor and it fit perfectly.
Check w/domestic junk yards or Potomac German. PGA will warranty
theirs for ? days. And you could get Rick at RC Imports to do the
install if you don't want to......

someone called Phoenix and environs.

Here are the results of the diagnostics for non-functioning aux. fan
on our '85 300CD - it broke and needed replacing (not a fuse or other
electrical malfunction).
Before it was replaced, the compressor started to screech due to a
slipping clutch, so now that needs replacing as well [groan].
There are several brands of AC compressors, generally in the $200 -
$300 range. Are there any brands that should be AVOIDED due to a high
failure rate? We will probably convert to R134 at the same time. Any
words of wisdom on this course of action be greatly appreciated.
