They all use the FS10 compressor, Jose. I got mine from Tech Choice parts in the US. It comes complete with a new pulley, ready to install, but as these threads will tell you, it's not just a matter of swapping over. You need to completely flush the system to avoid the "black death" destroying your new compressor as well. A competent A/C expert will know all this. Cheers...

Everything Malcolm said, various sources for the FS10 including UK, Compressortech. The guy there knows about the 260's. Let us know if you need contact info for US and UK sites.

Thats good to know. I took down compressortechs details so i will give them a call today. Its amazing that stupid things can really ruin a day. luckly it did leave me stuck by the road but still put a downer on things.
Ps i have been signed up for over a year now, i do check out the site regular. even made it to the brokklands meet last year.
cheers

yep just looked at the attached post, exactly the same place mine was burning from.
So others have shared my pain
Denso, Four Seasons, Spectra?
I have now suffered the same issue with a combusting air con unit. Fortunately I managed to get home by turning off the AC (and opening the windows to let the smoke out...) Pump had been noisy for a while but actually got quieter recently.
Anyway, I've looked on the Rockauto website (as I don't want to pay the government for import duty) and there are lots of options. I don't want a remanufactured unit, but that leaves me with Denso, Four Seasons, Spectra Premium and GPD. Any ideas which is the 'right' one to go for?
Thanks in advance
Four Seasons (FS) is the standard one.

Andy - have suffered the same about 6 weeks ago now only just got around to doing somthing about it - ordered a compressor from Rock Auto total cost inc delivery £204 and only two days delivery, not bad i thought
Andrew
Did you go for the FS one or one of the others? I don't think £204 with a 2-day delivery timeframe is bad at all (well, better not to have to pay it at all of course, but could be worse!)
