Re: Do I need a new A/C compressor? Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Do I need a new A/C compressor?, Captain Eddie Bob, Thu, 12 Jun 2003 20:39:59 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Those compressors can sometimes develop a leak between the middle housing and the cover behind A/C clutch.
The cover is held in place by 6 or 8 bolts, but the A/C clutch have to be removed to get the cover off.
It's an O-ring behind there, about 4-5" in diameter.
It might not be worth fiddle with it, but instead replace the whole compressor. Saab don't even have a partnumber for that O-ring so you would have to find it from another source (probably where they rebuild compressors).
I haven't looked into that repair any more in depth that taken an old compressor apart to see what it looks like inside.
