Air-con compressor wanted for hdi 90 d9 406

Post by robconnors1977 »

I am after a air-con compressor for my Y reg 406 hdi 90 as my one is getting noisey.

Can anyone help??

Payment can be by pay-pal cheque etc.

It's noisey because it's low on gas and it's 'scavenging'.

The compressors are pretty tough on the 406 and failures are rare (in my opinion).

the compressor started to whine last year, though the a/c wprked fine. However during the spring, although the a/c would turn on and click no cold air was coming out so i had it regassed - The a/c blows cold now, however the compressor only operates for about a minute and then cuts out. There is also a rumbling noise coming from it which we suspect is the compressor rather than the clutch side of it - it now seems that the compressor is partially seized!!
