FAQs

Does this compressor come with oil inside?

Yes, this unit includes 80 ml of PAG compressor oil, though you should verify if additional oil is needed based on your specific vehicle's total system capacity.

What is the warranty period for this compressor?

This product includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty.

Can I install this myself without professional equipment?

While the mechanical installation can be done by a skilled hobbyist, the system requires professional evacuation and recharging equipment to function safely and legally.

What is the pulley diameter?

The pulley diameter is 129 mm.

Is the PAG oil type critical?

Yes, using the incorrect oil type can lead to seal degradation and catastrophic failure of the compressor internal components.

Troubleshooting

Compressor clutch fails to engage

Check the AC relay, fuse, and low-pressure switch to ensure the electrical signal is reaching the clutch connector.

Excessive noise during operation

Verify that the belt tension is correct and that the mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification.

Poor cooling performance after installation

Check for correct refrigerant levels; an overcharged or undercharged system will prevent the compressor from functioning efficiently.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the longevity of your AC system. Before installation, you must confirm that the compressor’s mounting points and electrical connections match your vehicle's existing setup. It is mandatory to flush the AC lines to remove debris from the previous failed unit, as contaminants can ruin the new internal seals immediately. Ensure the system is evacuated and recharged with the manufacturer-recommended quantity of R 134a refrigerant by a certified technician. Regular maintenance includes inspecting the belt for cracking and ensuring the condenser fins are clear of road debris to prevent overheating the compressor.
