This DENSO Auto Parts AC compressor is a new unit supplied with the clutch. DENSO compressors are original equipment on 45% of vehicles in the North American market. DENSO is one of the world's largest OE suppliers of A/C compressors and originally designed these units.
The compressor is the pump of the A/C system. The engine belt drives it through its clutch, and it pressurizes refrigerant and circulates it through the system. Signs it may need replacing include warm air from the vents, grinding or rattling when the A/C is on, a clutch that will not engage, or refrigerant leaking at the compressor. Diagnose the cause before replacing it. Follow the vehicle service information for flushing, oil and recharge procedures.
