Description

The Sanden SD7C16 air conditioning compressor, model 1304f with product code 9656572680, is designed for various PSA Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. This compressor plays a critical role in the vehicle’s climate control system by compressing and circulating refrigerant to provide effective air conditioning. Over time, compressors can fail due to wear on bearings, clutch issues, or refrigerant leaks, which makes replacement necessary to maintain optimal cooling performance.

Installation is straightforward for professional mechanics and knowledgeable DIY enthusiasts alike. It involves disconnecting the battery, removing the drive belt, carefully disconnecting refrigerant lines following environmental safety protocols, and unbolting the defective compressor before fitting the new unit. Proper oil filling with PAG 46 refrigerant oil (135 ml recommended) is essential to ensure correct lubrication and longevity of the compressor.
