2003 Clio Sport
Hi Folks,
Down here in Australia, summer is fast approaching and my air con compressor has shagged out. Left a deposit of fine metal through my system.
I've sourced replacement evap and condensor rads, and piping from another car (wrecked) which had working a/c, but the compressor isn't the same as mine (and is probably on last legs too given the lack of internal oil!)
So - here is what I know... I need a new compressor. I have a 2002 Mk2 172 - (Vin ending xx 614025 ) and the compressor I'm told I have (by local Renault) is Sanden Pt# SD6V12GE1422.
I'm told that the compressor pully diameter is 109mm.
However, the only source of replacement compressors I have found is: http://www.rexbo.eu/renault/clio-ii-bb0-1-2-cb0-1-2-98/2-0-16v-sport-cb0m-10366/compressor-100354
And the nearest match is a compressor with 112mm pulley - http://www.rexbo.eu/hella/compressor-air-conditioner-8fk351134851?c=100354&at=10366
Has anyone else been through the joy of replacing a compressor and can advise if the pulley size I have been advised is correct, if changing pulley size will be a problem, or of another supplier with well priced compressors??
(Note - local prices from Renault run about $1300AUD - 875 EURO / 725 GBP. I'm hoping I can get something for under 400 Euro/300GBP - as the car isn't worth the money to throw at this otherwise!).
Many thanks from Oz.
