Carrera 3.2 A/C Compressor
 

My compressor was diagnosed as dead last summer, I recall being told the seals are shot. I suspect I neglected to run it regularly over the cool months. ‘Too hot here in Central Calif. to do without A/C any longer; so I must replace it.
Any suggestions? New or rebuilt, stock or other? (I think I heard somewhere that the stock compressor is same unit as on Ford F150.) Cooling capability was adequate, so I don't plan on any extravagant upgrades (with commensurate expense) like larger condensors, etc.
I do plan to replace the recevier/dryer, too.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Here's a thread that I found helpful:

HTH,

Follow the rebuild article mentioned in the thread above. It is very straightforward to do the overhaul yourself.
Good luck,

If you don't want to rebuild it yourself, I found Compressors International here in Southern California to have very competitive prices on rebuilt compressors. I wouldn't waste my money on a new one....generally rebuilts are just fine.

Some people say that the Sanden rotary compressor will give you better performance. Performance Air in Orange County sells a kit that includes the compressor and mounting bracket. www.scottsind.com

Good luck.

I have a nippondenso for a 84 or later 911 that I am willing to sell for $150.00 plus shipping. I believe it is still set up for R12. For $200.00 plus shipping I throw in the three cans of R12. That I got with it when I brought the compressor.

I was going to convert my York to the nippondenso, but brought a Seiki compressor instead.

PM me if you are interested.
