Need a/c compressor 1994 v12
Seems this compressor is a unicorn. Anyone know a source for one or to send for rebuilding?
|
As I recall from my 94 V12 car that was a Sanden 7 something or other.
One time I actually had two spares in the garage. Haven't seen them in years. I don't remember doing anything with them. |

Maybe worth researching a bit and please do report back - I also have a '94 V12 and I am sure I will be requiring a compressor at some point. |
The mounts on the 78589 Four Seasons compressor are incorrect in the picture on the Rock Auto site. That may be a stock photo, but Rock Auto normally has correct photos of the actual part.
|
So the mounts are correct even though the picture shows different?
|
I don't have this configuration, therefore I am not sure what the answer is, but over the years, I believe many have reported that other compressors will work, but the mounting configuration has to be modified on these other parts.
I am sure if you do a search on these forums, you'll find someone that has been able to modify the mount in some fashion. I don't think there are going to be any easy solutions here though. |
See post below, I did not realise the 6 litre mounts were different. Also on the 5.3 litre, the aircon compressor drive is not part of the water pump belt drive. |

Not a problem. I have a Sanden swapped for the OEM Harrison. I think the OEM one on your model was a Sanden so should be OK.
Sanden makes all sorts of different mounts, clutches, endplates, and fitting attachments for the 709 style compressors. You have to ensure everything matches. |
Mike,
That model compressor has to be mounted on the V of the engine and it is integral for the belt arrangement. If you try to mount a compressor with a different mounting arrangement you won't have any drive for the water pump. Also, any other mounting arrangement will probably interfere with the bonnet. |

Apples and oranges.

I have a '94 6.0L that came out of a saloon, unfortunately it uses a wide serpentine belt so the compressor wouldn't be exactly correct. I wish the '95 XJS I have had the same system. I think the wide belts have better traction than the old v-belts.
