Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the info Marty - sounds like money well spent !
More likely the compressor seal isn't 100% and leaks slowly when its running. Seal kits are available for some compressors but if you can't fit the kit yourself then the fitting cost plus regassing an old compressor often isn't worth it.Quote:

I have had a good look and it looks like if i remove the power steering pump and inner guard liner i should be able to swap it over without too many hassles
Thats a reasonable price - how did you work out the compressor is stuffed ?
Let us know how fitting goes and if the supplier is any good ... subject to the success or otherwise of regassing I might need a new one at some point too :mad:
i had it regassed and the guy who regassed it said the compressor was stuffed???????? he said it would barely circulate the gas at idle and was only slightly better at revs.Quote:

My NEW A/C compressor turned up today, Yep the brand name is "NEW" and its made in China as apposed to the factory Denso made in Japan. It looks fine but since ordering this my A/C seems to have come goodish, sometimes if it wont come on i have to turn it off and on again and it seems to work ok while its on. Looks like ill be googleing "NEW" A/C compressors to see if i have wasted my money or not and if its worth fitting given mine is working ish.Quote:

You can usually check for leaks yourself, a squirty bottle with soapy water spray it on any joins, fittings etc on the aircon lines that run around the engine bay, the soapier the better, you want enough for the leaking pressure to make the soapy water bubble. Another tell tale sign is an oily type stain, gas usually carries oil with it so if you see an oily stain that looks more like cooking oil than engine oil, chances are your leak is around there.
I haven't looked but is there a sight glass on the system?
