Cool Part / Question

[fjmuurling]

Hello everybody,

As the winter is approaching and the motoring will be less the time has come to repair/renew/convert my AC installation. Can someone let me know what type of AC Compressor they have in their R134a refrigirated AC car. It is probably a Sanden SD5H14 compressor but I like to know for sure.

Many thanks in advance,

Freek Muurling

It's actually a common Sanden SD-508, but that comes in different variations. The two model # listed on the interchange are 9036 or 4509.

The real pain-in-the-rear part is the Reciever/dryer...as the common Parker-Hannifin OEM model that looks to be an exact interchange for the Esprit part has an o-ring assembly vs. the flare fitting of the Esprit. I've been unable to come up with an interchange for it or a o-ring to flare adapter.

Hope that helps,

Chandra

thx for your reply Chandra, the SD 508 is an R12 unit the SD5H14 is an R134a unit. I will be replacing the compressor, the condensor the hoses and the drier in my car because I have a major leak in the condensor and the compressor. While fixing the system i will switch to R134a.

I've read that the Sanden SD5H14 is the R134a successor to the SD508 series. I hear that it is more robust (more suited to the new gas).

I'm thinking of changing mine, also.... as soon as I find out where all my leaks are

Cheers.

Спасибо, GKP, but for me, the postage for something like this would be phenomenal (because of the weight). Our local Sanden distributor can probably get me a better deal.

Cheers.
