Are we there yet?
Thats a good damn price,most AC places will quote you over $500 for a new one.
Yeah mate go to Holden and get em brand new. it's alot of pipe for the price you are paying. you'll see what i mean when you see it. good luck

I am a little confused here, IS Superman is talking about the pipes and fittings only, NO compressor? while Ado is referring to the compressor, without pipes and fittings.????
I've been quoted by my local natrad shop $900 fitted (genuine compressor). Another shop will charge me $200 to fit/gas up only, if i supply the compressor. I'm thinking of buying a new aftermarket compressor off eBay for $400 - that seller's ad says the aftermarket compressors can be serviced (i.e. parts available) whereas the genuine ones cannot. I don't know if that's just salesman spin or not, but the one thing i do know is i'd rather pay $600 compared to $900.
No way is a compressor worth $180 from Heartland.. They are not that generous.

where you located. theres a fella on boostcruising selling compessors new for 365. fits and gasses for 565. pretty sure hes on ebay too. brisbane areas
150 at wreckers with warrenty
I got quoted about $1000 for a new compressor installed on my VT 5L from my local auto-elec, claiming 600 of that was for the compressor alone, is that about right? i can't find any on eBay to compare price with. bloody VT 5L parts aren't easy to find.

hi guys
is it eay to take the air compressor out? i know how to take the engine belt out.......
haw many bolts are holding the compressor and are they all in the front side of the compressor?
any bolts or nuts holding the unit in the rear part of the compressor?

3 bolts from memory, 2 at the front and 1 at the side easy as really 1nc the drive belts off, then its just a matter of disconnecting the aircon piping.

But make sure you have had the system degassed first. It is illegal for you to allow the gas into the atmosphere, not to mention dangerous.

I got the compressor replaced recently.
