Vtim 3rd Gear June 21, 2005 Share June 21, 2005 My Volvo S60 recon parts are not that easy to find. Hopefully, I don't need to change anything before I change my car. there are only a few aircon compressor makers for cars, most likely conti are using Bosch, if I'm not wrong. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear June 21, 2005 Share June 21, 2005 If proton saga, just go any WS in JB. They all "specialize" in that make of car. 2nd hand compressors sud be aplenty. Just b careful u don't get conned. Try to check for a reliable & honest WS b4 u go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear June 21, 2005 Share June 21, 2005 That's one of the main drawbacks of owning a conti car. U might still get 1 from the scrapyards as the carry alot of stuff for conti cars (especially merc) nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear June 22, 2005 Share June 22, 2005 that's very true as the volume on conti is not that great here except maybe for Merc I was surprise to find a re-con air-con compressor for my Alfa 33 16v and it wasn't in SG but in one of the small town in Terengganu and it cost only RM250 back in 98' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5kylark February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 Is the trend to just replace? MC quoted 800 for new compressor but I planning to sell soon so hoping for recon but tough. > Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhtc 6th Gear February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 There might be debris in the faulty compressor. Hence, it is safer to just replace even with a reconditioned compressor. The compressor oil replacement should also be part of the maintenance every few years to prolong the life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple-Tree 6th Gear February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 A brand new original compressor cost about $300+ include discharge and suction pipe. Hyundai and Kia use Denso compressor. I bought at KB Autobay top storey. You can go JB a get it installed lor. I installed myself ...... heeee Is the trend to just replace?MC quoted 800 for new compressor but I planning to sell soon so hoping for recon but tough.> ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
