Help keep the cabin cool with the DENSO Auto Parts A/C compressor, part number 471-1438. This new compressor, supplied with its clutch, pressurizes and circulates refrigerant through your vehicle's air-conditioning system. It fits many Mercedes-Benz vehicles, among them the 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL450, 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz CLS400 and 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz E250, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
When its clutch engages, the engine-belt-driven compressor draws in low-pressure refrigerant vapor and discharges it at high pressure toward the condenser. Signs a compressor may need replacing include warm air from the vents with the A/C on, a clutch that does not engage, or grinding noise when the A/C runs. Diagnose the cause before replacing the compressor. The refrigerant should be recovered, and the system evacuated and recharged, as directed by the vehicle service information.

What are signs an A/C compressor may need replacing?
Warm air from the vents with the A/C on, a clutch that won't engage, or grinding when the A/C runs can signal a compressor problem. Diagnose first, since other parts can cause the same signs.
