Owner reviews for AC compressor

I got a brand new Denso compressor, which is the supplier to Toyota and many other brands from [buyparts24.com](http://buyparts24.com) for AED945, also bought a receiver/dryer and expansion valve for AED200ish more. I would like to keep the car longterm and have proper working AC, as sitting in the traffic AC and radio are more important than brakes and tyres.........LOL

I just replaced my AC Compressor on my VW Beetle with a Nissens from RockAuto. I also had the Dryer and Expansion Valve replaced, it works perfect now.

I put a GPD in a ford escape last year, has held up so far...

Just in case you haven't figured this out.

1996 Rav 4 AC compressor is the same body. Denso 4710161

The only problem I've had with my recently acquired 2014 XV is that it still has the old version of the ac compressor, which isn't a cheap fix. AC still works intermittently, though, I just have to toggle it on and off every few minutes.

Without even charging the system with R134 refrigerant, the "new" compressor begain making metallic "scraping" sound right out of the box, as soon as I started it up ... probably the clutch and/or bearing is defective. I've been driving it for the last 2 weeks without using the AC and with no R134 in it, and sadly, the noise is still there. In fact, it's getting worse!

Significant problems with my Kia Niro EV’s AC compressor.

CRV Gen 2 (2001 - 2004) - nadudurog ung loob ng AC compressor.

Mine just seized up while I was 5 hours from home in my 2015... Lol. Started smoking and I could feel the air was humid so I immediately shut it off and it didn't melt my belt. Making a noise though so now I'm debating if I wanna rebuild it or juts buy a new one...
