Title: AC compressor clutch
Post by: lou on 07 August 2012, 22:29:30

Just had a complete regas, vacuum the full works. we now found the clutch is not operating. 12v is present on plug from the relay. my question is can they be removed or does it mean a complete new compressor?

Just to clarify...is there 12V at the connector on the compressor itself?

The clutch can be replaced in-situ, but you need a special puller and installer tools to do it, most aircon guys should have these tools but they wont like the job as access is difficult.
You can get the tools off e-bay and fit a new or good used clutch yourself if handy with the spanners, just remove the bagpipes and the secondary air pipe for better access.
