air con compressor - GM part number 93197128 - replacement

omega2498

My 55 reg Signum, with the Z22YH engine has a leaking compressor. The odd drop so far !

Dealer wants £434 +vat for an exchange one.

Has anyone has success with aftermarket recon ones in the £200-£300 price range ?

Regards

Hi did the dealer offer you a recon part through them or give you a R part number something like this ?

Hi - thanks for response - the Dealer offered a GM' service exchange - I think it was an extra £54 or something like that, which would be refunded when I took the old unit back .... bestpartstore.co.uk list a few - Dasis 851447N, Dasis 850387N, Teamec 8646020, Van Wezel 3700K447, Sanden SD7V16, NRF 32269(G), NRF 32313. Not having ever replaced a compressor before I don't know what thegood' re-built makes are. Also it is recommended that a new receiver/dryer is fitted, although I doubt water vapour has entered my system .....

Graham2704 - followed up with cartsconnexion, but my Signum is a `facelift' late 2005 model with a chassis number in the 48 6104 **** range. Apparently the part at the Worksop GM dealer fits only models in the 48 5 *** **** range. Thanks anyway !

Well it looks like two different Sanden compressors types - SD7V16 and PVX16 - were fitted over the years. Also at least 3 different GM part number stickers on the various compressors. Anyhow, our local motor factor eventually tracked down a compressor for me - £300 for the unit.
