Does anyone know where to find, or how to retrofit, an Aspera clutch coil if the factory one is bad?
It is the large round coil that attaches to the compressor with 4 small screws, and which the pulley/clutch assembly fits over when placed on the compressor shaft. When the coil is energized by turning on the AC system, it becomes an electromagnet and engages the clutch which turns the compressor. The single wire that comes off of the compressor is attached to this coil. It is not available, (to my knowledge) as a separate part. The pulley/clutch assembly is listed as a separate part on page 37 of the parts manual. When you look at the diagram, you can just see a couple of the small screws behind the pulley that hold the coil on the compressor.
I have had no luck with the compressor clutch replacment on these. I just convert to Sandin units and be done with it.
you may try a mercedes dealer. the mercedes cars ( from 67 until 75 ) 250SE, 280SE, also the 3,5 ltr and 6.3 ltr had the same compressor I once tried also without any luck
