Quick facts

- Fits: 2000-2004 Subaru Outback and other vehicles
- Condition: New
Weak cooling, a noisy compressor or oily residue around its fittings can point to a worn compressor, though other A/C parts produce the same signs. With the engine off and cool, look over the compressor and drive belt for leaks, damage or wear; a shop can run the pressure and electrical tests. If the compressor is the cause, this unit replaces it.
