Assuming it hasn’t seized due to lack of oil and the only problem is a leaking front seal, they are pretty straight forward to put a new seals kit through.

However these compressors were used on many cars with often only the front pulley and the manifold specific to the application.

Hi folks, I need to replace my aircond compressor on my 944S, seems the denso brand is available in us and uk, for similar pricing, just seems so many different companies sell them, does anyone recommend who is most reputable before I send a slab of $ os?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

There is a guy in Melbourne that does them, i can't remember who though sorry, i had one done by him a few years ago for my 944.
Unfortunately the 10P15E unit used in the 944's is a use it or lose it type of thing, Every 944 i had ended up in failure.
George,
Why do you think you need to replace the compressor?
Assuming it hasn’t seized due to lack of oil and the only problem is a leaking front seal, they are pretty straight forward to put a new seals kit through. I’ve just done one. About $30 for the seals and $45 for a can ND 8 oil, all readily available off eBay.
There are few good DIY videos on YouTube to help too.
Because the support bracket is broken and risks my belts coming off mate, there’s a guy in Sydney that can supply a new denso for about $1100, saves shipping from us for not much less. Cheers guys
Jezus! How do you break the mounts on a Denso compressor!!!! I wouldn't have thought that to be impossible.
Like to see a photo if you have one handy.
If you haven't the time or interest to bugger around I guess $1100 is the cost.
However these compressors were used on many cars with often only the front pulley and the manifold specific to the application. These two things can be easily swapped over.
Anyway, whatever the solution you choose, good luck!
