Air con compressor spares

[Greenbot35]

Hiya all

Does anyone know of a supplier of aircon compressor spare parts? I've got a Sanden Pxv16 compressor with a dead electromagnetic clutch I can see they are available in Germany and Europe but over here I just keep getting told to replace the whole compressor.

Thermotec CC-202 seems to be a supplier for the pvx16 used on the Opel/ saab models.

thanks in advance.

Why not just buy from them? A little more delivery charge, perhaps, but that's the only difference.

I want to make sure that it's 100 correct. Although the compressor is the same it's not listed as for a landrover. Assuming with car parts normally doesn't go well.

If it's genuinely the same model (I'm assuming pvx/pxv in the OP is a typo), then the only differences between fitments will be external - pulleys, bracketry. The internals will be the same.

But if the vendor's any use, they'll be able to tell you if you ask them.

Yeah it's a typo. It's a pxv16 made by sanden. Pulleys do vary in width which may affect the clutch or might not hence why I ask here. I've already asked the vendor but as it's a general car parts supplier they might not know either.

Sanden used to have a repair shop in Basingstoke . Not sure if they are still there now.

I'm still struggling to get spares for the Sanden compressor. As they are commonly refurbished they must be available does anyone else have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance
