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!)
Andy - I hade the Four Seasons Part Number 58129 I have fitted it to the car but it's just free wheeling at the moment as the rest of the system is yet to be cleaned / checked but I'm back on the road and that's the main thing

Just wanted to share my experience
Compressor seized solid on Wednesday
Ordered new one from Rock-Auto on Thursday£208.00 Inc delivery to UK
Delivered on Monday
Fitted on Tuesday, running in 'idler mode" for the moment. Not exactly a/c weather here just now
Will get the system flushed out and re-gassed soon

Hi, finally got around to sorting out my air con a few weeks ago (I haven't really needed it so far this year!) I know from the forum how important it is to have the system flushed before putting a new compressor in, but I couldn't find anywhere locally that could flush the system for me. After a lot of searching however I found a local garage just outside of Leicester (G&D 4x4) who has the correct air con flushing kit to do the job, so if anyone needs their system flushed and regassed, rather than just a simple regas, I know this garage can do it. They're cheap too and always ready to put the kettle on...
