What is this part and why does it matter?

The air-con compressor pressurises the refrigerant, driving its circulation through the system and cooling the cabin air.

For a used air-con compressor, compare reference, pipe connections, pulley and control type. Confirm the accessories supplied and the condition information for the particular unit. The workshop should diagnose the circuit and specify the associated work. Fitting another compressor without addressing remaining system faults may not resolve the original problem.

Signs of a faulty part

If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:

Air conditioning doesn’t cool even though the compressor runs
Unusual noise (knocking, grinding) from the compressor
The compressor won’t engage (the clutch doesn’t activate)

Installation information

Mounts on a bracket to the engine block, driven by a belt — needs the system recharged with refrigerant afterward.

Frequently asked questions

Often low refrigerant level (the system blocks engagement to protect the compressor), a faulty clutch, or a pressure-sensor fault.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
