FAQs

What does this coil do?

This coil is part of the magnetic clutch on the air conditioning compressor. When energized by 12V, it creates a magnetic field that engages the clutch, causing the compressor to spin and produce cold air.

How do I know if I need this part?

If your air conditioning system is not cooling, and a mechanic diagnoses a faulty A/C compressor clutch coil, this part may be the solution. Symptoms can include the compressor not engaging or intermittent cooling.

Is this a universal part?

No, this part is specific to vehicles and compressor types listed in its compatibility details, particularly DENSO 6SBU and 7SBU compressors found in various BMW, Opel, and Toyota models.

What tools are needed for installation?

Installation typically requires standard automotive hand tools, a multimeter for electrical testing, and specialized tools like an A/C compressor pulley puller/installer. Professional installation is recommended if you lack experience.

Do I need to recharge the A/C system after installation?

Yes, after replacing the clutch coil and removing the compressor pulley, the refrigerant will escape. The system must be properly evacuated and recharged by a certified technician.

What is the voltage requirement for this coil?

This Febi coil operates on a 12V electrical system.

Can I use this if my compressor is not a DENSO brand?

No, this coil is specifically designed for DENSO compressors with 6SBU or 7SBU model codes. Using it on a different brand or model may lead to damage and improper function.

Troubleshooting

A/C system not cooling after installation

Verify the system has been properly evacuated and recharged. Ensure the battery was reconnected and the fuse for the A/C compressor clutch is intact. Check electrical connections to the coil.

Compressor clutch not engaging

Double-check that the correct coil part number is installed for your specific compressor model. Inspect wiring for damage or loose connections. Ensure the 12V power supply to the coil is present when the A/C is activated.

Noise coming from the compressor pulley area

This could indicate an improperly seated coil or pulley. Re-check the installation process, ensuring all components are torqued correctly and the pulley spins freely without binding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility Check:

Before installation, it is critical to verify compatibility. Ensure your vehicle is listed in the compatible models and that your air conditioning compressor is a DENSO unit with a 6SBU or 7SBU model code. Cross-reference the part number `38667-FE001` with your vehicle's existing part or consult a professional.

Installation:

Installation of a magnetic clutch coil typically requires:

Safety First: Disconnect the vehicle's battery.
Access the Compressor: This may involve removing other engine bay components to gain clear access to the A/C compressor.
Remove the Pulley: The A/C compressor pulley must be carefully removed, often using a specialized puller tool.
Replace the Coil: The old coil is removed, and the new Febi coil is installed in its place, ensuring it sits correctly on the compressor shaft.
Reassemble: Reinstall the pulley and any removed components.
Recharge System: After installation, the A/C system will likely need to be evacuated and recharged by a qualified technician to ensure proper operation and prevent damage.

Care:

This component is part of the A/C system and requires no direct user maintenance beyond ensuring the A/C system itself is functioning correctly.
Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or debris that could compromise electrical connections.
Regular A/C system checks by a professional can help identify potential issues early.
