New a/c compressor fitted

[jade]

I suspect that Zexel pump is indeed very common... S2/RS2 gets a variant without the compressor speed signal and an oddball pulley compared to other models. Great find Rich !

Mine was replaced by a VW Passet one, just cut the wires to the speed sensor, It was supplied by the company below One year on it still good, I will check the brand because I do not think it was a Zexel one

Grab one whilst you still can....

Matching part number 8A0 260 805 AF

I spent hours and hours searching for one at a reasonable price and found one here:

Delivered within 36hrs and it's genuine Valeo.

Hopefully this will save many of you time and money.

Compressor end connection dimensions

Looks like I'll be going to Demon Tweeks at the weekend to try and sort the new pipe/fittings.

As my new condenser is non OEM I have a different thread size to normal at that end of the proceedings, it is:

M22 x1.75

My question is what are the equivalent dimensions for the compressor end (i.e. to fit the compressor in the EBay ad I posted above)?

Compressor part number is:

8A0 260 805 AF

Can anyone provide this so I don't look like a complete amateur when I arrive at the desk!

It's looking like I'll try and get a custom Goodridge hose made up. Does anyone have any advice?

Guys, is there any solution to make a stop function for the compressor on high revs? My new one unit died after some race action...

The compressor clutch should deactivate on WOT AFAIK.

high revs, causing higher pressure, causing leak to appear, causing low pressure switch to open preventing the clutch from kicking in? just a thought.

But as pointed out above there is a full throttle inhibit function on the system
