Hi There
I have a 2006 A4 2.0tdi, the air conditioning does not work. I thought it just needed gassing but when I took it to be gassed they said the system had been done and it had no leaks, but it was not cooling. The garage seemed to think its more than likely the compressor gone. Ive got a new high pressure switch to put on also just in case as ive heard these are common to go faulty. Apart from the compressor and that switch if anything else was faulty the system would be leaking wouldn't it as far as im aware?
Now since then I have took off the compressor as I wanted to change it myself for a second hand one, however, i cannot find that particular one as it seems like its made by some company ive never heard of, and theres none of them for sale anywhere.
However I have seen ones on ebay that are used working denso ones and other better known makes. They look identical same connectors for pipes and electrics, same bolt positions. I was just wondering would this be ok to put on and would it work? I assume there are a number of different companies that make the same compressor for this but I just wanted to check before I buy one.
