Four Seasons A/C Compressor P/N:168540
Keep refrigerant moving and cold air flowing with the Four Seasons A/C Compressor 68438, a new replacement for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima (All) and 2003-2008 Nissan Maxima (All). As the pump at the heart of the A/C system, the compressor pressurizes and circulates refrigerant through the loop; if a worn or seized original is the cause of weak or no cooling, this unit replaces it.
Based on the Valeo DKS17D design and cataloged in the York-Diesel Kiki-Zexel-Seltec compressor family, it is built to OE-level specifications and validated for the equivalent of 100,000 miles.
The A/C switch is not included, and mounting hardware is not supplied — consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. Manufacturer part number 68438.
