Another AC Thread: Which compressor??

[SquareRoot]

Buy the cheap Chinese crap from Autozone. It's got a lifetime warranty right? Does that offset the amount of frustration, inconvenience and time it takes to go thru the drill of replacing it again?

Buy once, cry once. You get what you pay for.

Carry on.

Im also been working on painting outdoor decorations for my grandma. Im between jobs but its something that she wants done and is comfortable covering cost of living + minor bills and some side cash(not a lot, sadly no square stuff atm) but It allows me time to do things like this cowboy and soon the goose

The A6 and R4 (which is still not a good compressor) can both be retrofitted (you pull out the 'bird cage', if it has a ceramic seal) to the newer, double lip seal. Only way I have seen them not sling oil. I've done quite a few.
The same seal also fits the V5 compressor, which didn't get this seal in production until around '99, even though FSM's say otherwise.

Case corrosion makes the V5s leak at the body o-rings too. They didn't have such and issue with this when painted.

Never knew about a V5 - see, always learning!

Just like about the A6 built in leak ...

Its a newer design, late 80s or early 90s, it doesnt cycle. So when the compressor is commanded on by switch or module, it will energize and not disengage unless commanded off for WOT, turn car off, turn ac off, etc. The displacement is variable so it can be low or high etc. the advantage of that kind is no felt or engine-bogging when the compressor would normally be engaging or disengaging. its ultimately not a huge deal in a big v8 but smaller engines get hit HARD when the engine is loaded or unloaded and the vibrations are usually harsh in a small eco car. but Its a nice compressor quality wise in my opinion at least they come in many variations of mounting. mine has just two 12 and 6 ears.
