How do I confirm this compressor matches my vehicle?

Before ordering, verify the groove count on your current compressor pulley and compare OEM part numbers and photos. Use the vehicle lookup tool where available and inspect the existing part’s connector, mounting points, and pulley dimensions to ensure a correct match.

• Check pulley grooves—this unit fits only 6-groove pulleys, not 8-groove.
• Compare part numbers printed on your old compressor with the references above.
• Match electrical connector shape and mounting flange locations to the product photos.

What should a professional or DIY installer know before replacing this part?

Installation requires proper refrigeration service tools and procedures; evacuate and recover refrigerant per environmental regulations and refill the system to manufacturer specs. Torque fasteners to vehicle manufacturer values and replace receiver/drier or orifice tube as advised in your repair manual to protect the new compressor.

• Recover refrigerant and evacuate the system before removing the old compressor.
• Confirm oil charge and top up only with PAG46 if required within the specified tolerance.
• Replace associated A/C service components (filter/drier, O-rings) where recommended.
