As a DENSO BMW ac compressor, this belt-driven unit engages through its clutch. Signs a compressor may need replacing include warm air from the vents, noise when the A/C engages, a clutch that will not engage, or refrigerant leaks at the compressor; other parts can cause these, so diagnose the system first. If a failed compressor is the cause, this unit replaces it. The listed applications use one compressor. Follow the vehicle service information for refrigerant recovery, the correct refrigerant oil and the charge procedure.
