Prior to that I had the tube. It constantly cycled and cooling would instantly stop when it kicked off. I would avoid the tube if possible. Just my experience.
Yep, I have the same experience with the POA update/tube. It is terrible and definitely NOT something anyone should install. Don't waste your money. If you don't have a POA, they are available on Ebay. If yours doesn't work, it can be rebuilt (again check Ebay) or get a used replacement. I am just ticked that I wasted so much R12.

BTW, sorry about the terrible previous post by me...did it on my phone.
