Owner reviews for AC compressor

My Commuter car Toyota stock compressor is still going after 12 years of hard usage.

a brand-new, OEM, plug-and-play Denso 471-1114 compressor is [$197.98 is on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Denso-471-1114-New-Compressor-Clutch/dp/B001UC9IMI) with prime shipping right now. It comes pre-filled with oil and with a new manifold (even though it's not in the photo). To me it was totally worth the extra $130 buying a new OEM compressor assembly. No Ebay quality to worry about, no time shimming up a new clutch, and the compressor itself is all new.

Aftermarket is okay but only buy new. I would trust Denso, Nissens or Valeo.

I drive a 2002 Jeep Liberty. I bought a pre-oiled Denso (OEM) A/C compressor for $130.00 online. Serpentine belt cost me $50. The dryer was another $25.

your ac compressor has failed. need to replace it

If it is a rebuilt/reman you violated the cardinal rule...."never ever buy a Reman Ford compressor".

MB Sprinter AC compressors!

I have just experienced the exact same issue with my BMW i3 air conditioning system, except .... the local dealer called and said the repair job would cost $17,000. I took it in to the dealer because the air didn't seem to be cooling normally. The dealer called back and said there were valves that needed replacing and the cost of the repair would be $1400. The valves were not in stock so they were ordered and after they arrived, the repair started. That's when the dealer said there were apparently metal shavings in the system and, while the compressor did not show any faults during testing, the entire AC system would have to be replaced. So now my 2015 i3, which cost $18,000 used in 2017 with 10K miles on it, has been totaled by a faulty AC system. Time to drive with the windows down and flap my arms.

Mabilis masira ang compressor.

I recently bought a brand new AC system for my 2005 Iveco Daily - new hoses, condenser, compressor, dryer, etc. and had it installed and regassed by my mechanic. The AC worked for a while but then stopped working. Turns out one of the hoses had a leak, so bought a replacement for that. I still used the car for a couple of weeks before I was able to get the new part delivered. During that time I found that the new AC belt had fully disintegrated. When I got back to the mechanic they found that the new AC Compressor has seized! Compressor is a Nissens 89329.
