Located in the engine bay and driven by the accessory belt, the A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle's air conditioning system. It works by pressurizing the refrigerant, which is the crucial first step in the cooling process that delivers cold air to your cabin. For any 4x4 owner, a functioning A/C system is essential for comfort on long journeys, tough off-road tracks, and in hot Australian climates. A failed compressor means no relief from the heat and can make driving conditions unbearable, as well as being unable to effectively demist your windscreen.
Ignoring a failing A/C compressor can lead to significant and costly problems. A seized compressor can snap the main drive belt, which often powers essential components like the alternator, water pump, and power steering. This can result in a loss of power steering, a dead battery, and potentially catastrophic engine overheating. Furthermore, a failing compressor can contaminate the entire A/C system with metal fragments, requiring a complete and expensive system flush and replacement of other components.
This compressor runs a 140mm pulley.
For Warranty Purposes it is required that the receiver dryer is to be replaced at the same time as the new compressor, these are available separately in our online store.
