AC Compressor Source? – 612/575/550/456

Hi Rynoshark I had the exact same issue. So bought a recon unit from Poland https://www.compressor-express.com
The website feels really dodgy, a guy in London picks up if you call them and says “hello” in a suspicious manner. Anyhow the correct case turned up with a very average rebuild so both compressors were then sent to a trusted rebuilder in Warwick uk, Compressor tech they made one good one out of the two to Ferrari spec. Still working 3000 miles later. I’ll get you the main guys name when back at my desk 30 aug. Cheers Peter.

 

Can search for a Harrison (Delphi) V5 series. The specific model number is 015144, but this relates to the specifics of the clutch type, pulley size etc, so maybe you could get a core form any Delphi V5 series?

Or... these guys have a complete rebuilt unit in stock ready to go for £449. Seems a good deal to me.

N.B. - AC compressors are the same part for 456, 550, 575 and 612.

 

The compressor express guys are the guys I used. Their rebuild is just about ok but I had a uk company make a really good one out of the compressor express one and my old FUBAR one. Cheers Peter

 

I just had the same A/C compressor problem and currently have the 612 OTO in LA Ferrari for service including belts and miscellaneous stuff. The service manager said that a new A/C was $5k+ so he is having my compressor rebuilt. i haven't picked it up yet so I will have to see how the rebuilt A/C works.

 

I'm sorry Ryan, I can't seem to find it on Eurospares but I know it's there.

I normally stock those Ryan but I am waiting on 2 coming back from rebuilders. Rebuild time is usually 7 days if you can get it to me. I know you normally work with Josh and he likely has the same options.

 

My compressor is also on its way out so I just ordered from these guys. Should ship tomorrow.

 

Hi Larry, don’t forget to send it to a trusted uk based rebuilder for re work / checking before fitting✔️

 

It's been shipped to Ireland, I'll have my mechanic check it before he installs it. Thanks.

 

Anyone have a suggestion for a US based source? I found a place called Cool Air Parts in Texas that has units in stock but I don’t know anything about them.

 

I mailed cool air parts 6 months ago, the owner responded but did not have any 612 compressors or bodies on the shelf at the time.

 

One option would be get a used one and have it rebuilt. Then you can swap and repeat. There are several salvage yards that have exotics.

Of course there are many places to rebuild them too.

 

Thanks for all of the ideas. My mechanic found one and will be installing soon.
