brand of aircon compressor

[eagle]

My aircon compressor needs replacement (mazda 323 sedan) , what brand do you recommend? I passby at banawe a week ago they recommend 4 brands:
1. panasonic p14,000.00
2. denso p 9,000.00
3. sanden 507 p 8,000.00
4. sanden 507 p 6,000.00

wala bang compatibility pagdating sa a/c compressor and the a/c's other components?

[eagle]

I don't realy know, if compatibility is also a requirement in replacing aircon compressor.

Whats the stock compresor of Mazda ba? Well for me, better to stick with an OEM compressor (not saying na bumili ka sa casa).. an aircon specialist told me that if you'll variate an OE compressor, it might be possible for some vehicles or yours, that their tubings might won't fit from a different compressor. Though it's possible, but you'll compromise w/ an additional expense to change those thingys (tubings etc.).

My compressor is deteriorating too, so in the future i'm opting to change from OE Sanden to Denso (surplus only).. kaso yun nga lang sabe saken na baka o hindi talaga magkatugma kung ibang brand, atsaka dagdag gastos pa sa ibang parts na papalitan. So di bale na lang siguro.. hehe...just my 5 cents. :D

Check the OEM brand first. That'll make it easier.

For compressors which I am free to choose the brand (e.g. converting the MB a/c or fitting a/c to a/c-less car), SANDEN is usually what we use. They're cheap and very much available. Good serviceability, too.

This is a major consideration other than the compressor's replacement cost. In my case, I thought only the compressor would be replaced when I opted for another brand. Little did I know that modifications on the fittings and compressor bracket would be made. Let's say the fabrication is less than ideal and it cost me problems (still does up to now). Had I known that, I would have replaced my old compressor with the same one that came with the car.

In short, choose the same brand and model that is currently attached to your engine. Saves you a lot of trouble and time. May hurt you upfront with the cost, but the savings in time and trouble is well worth it.

Use OEM compressor. Less problems in the long run.

Meron panasonic?

[t2erns]

as what the other posters said use the OEM wala kang magiging problem sa mounting and alignment. alignment is very important to prevent belt damage and noise

First to hear a panasonic aircon.. I strongly suggest when replacing stock compressor it should be the same brand.. while replacing to other brand and if your condenser and evaporator is still good dont replace it. If it is Sanden go for Sanden.

To the aircon experts:

Are compressors interchangable for cars-- considering the fittings can be converted? I heard iba iba din yon such as mas maganda pag madaming PISTONS etc....

are there specifications such as pressure or whatever for the car's engine compatibility? Or generic lang lahat yan. SO that when you swap a compressor from another car, pareho din?

Like for my car. Kinabit pang PAJERO na compressor. But I feel, di na ganong kalamig as before. I think iba ang specifications and hindi talaga designed for my car's engine and ngayon, nag overheat na pag naka on ang aircon.

Bro,

Stick to OEM bolt ons. Never convert. Sanden is a good brand sana meron unit na sapol sa mazda mo.

I don't know, but OEM Mercedes Benz compressors are so expensive, we just slap on Sandens. Only the necessary fittings and brackets are changed. They work well enough considering the variety of systems they are fitted onto. The W123 has an aftermarket a/c, the W124 has the EUDM manual system, the W126 has the USDM automatic climate control.

Not sure about specific pressure settings. A/c' generally work between not less than 40 and not more than 200. Sorry for the vague description. Not an a/c tech here.

Btw, I'm running a higher capacity DENSO compressor on my system now. Not exactly a conversion. Just picked up a later model compressor. The mounting bolts are aligned. Only had to do minor mods on the pulley. I'm not expecting it to cool like when the car was brand new (considering the other components have aged also) but I'm surprised as to how well it works.

[1D4LV]

for information.
denso repairs aircon compressors using brand new parts. so you don't have to worry about compatibility or something.
its cheaper than buying brand new ones and more safe than buying surplus ones.

based on the brochure that i have, they are:

a. quality guaranteed;
b. original and brand new shaft seals and gaskets are used
c. out of spec parts are replaced with brand new parts.

just visit their branches to inquire. afaik, they have branches in Makati, Alabang, Caloocan, E Rodriguez QC, Pasig, Paranaque, Binan and Quezon Avenue.

Sort of an info lang,
Going bigger compressor it will equate more load on your engine, the compressor take its power from the engine.
