DENSO is one of the world's largest OE suppliers of A/C compressors, and most major vehicle manufacturers specify its units. Its First Time Fit line applies that air conditioning systems experience to a range of factory-new compressors.
A/C compressor wear can show up as warm air from the vents, noise when the A/C is running, a clutch that won't engage, or refrigerant leaking at the compressor. If a failed compressor is the cause, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the system first, since other components can cause similar symptoms. Installation requires recovering, evacuating and recharging the refrigerant with proper equipment. Follow the vehicle service information for refrigerant oil and any related parts.
