air con comressor

[THE_DUDE_]

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.

i just bought a brand new aircon compressor off ebay last week 4 $349 that also came with new drier and o rings but also free shipping n thats wat sealed the deal 4 me. They r easy as 2 installl urself i found that the drier was the hardest thing lol coz u had 2 take out ur grills 2 get it in there rather than the whole bar

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?

 

[wrx884]

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.

$590 for genuine Holden compressor, gas, and labor.
