A/C Compressor

[nobbythenav]

Hello everyone. Just bought an ‘R’ reg Cerbera and suffered a catastrophic failure of the a/c compressor pump. I note the Sanden TRS090-3015 is obsolete so wondered if anybody knows what I can replace it with please. Thank you

On my Tuscan, I too had a failure of the compressor.
I found a local outfit that overhauls them. They are called ACR and work from an industrial estate in Ringwood, Hants.
Maybe Google is your friend?

I've just put it on the car, but have yet to get the system charged.

Thank you but the thing shattered into pieces so it has to be a completely new unit

Or second hand contact the usual breakers such as Douglas Valley

Those seem almost reasonable for brand new, so there may be another vehicle source?

When I looked into getting a 1995 Honda Legend compressor back in 2020, they were about £400 new, and £200 ish second hand!. Strangely, they are cheaper now, from China.

I looked about a year ago and they seemed to be long gone as new or recon units.

Maybe an electric conversion might suit? Not sure whether the standard alternator is up to it, you’d have to do due diligence on that aspect.

Ah, OK, you are not in the "overhaul" area!
I started on the 'search breakers' route - and when I discovered the overhaul option was slightly cheaper than TVRGlen, I went the overhaul route.
My concern was that a breaker's part was an unknown quantity, likely still have to do an overhaul?

Good luck. Nick.
