Description
Air conditioning compressor for CITROEN and PEUGEOT SANDEN 1355F SD6V12 cars
Part description
The used Sanden air conditioning compressor is designed for Citroën and Peugeot cars. It is an important part of the air conditioning system, which ensures the circulation of the coolant and the proper functioning of the interior cooling. Parts of this type are often searched for according to the manufacturer’s designation, so we also include important codes to make it easier to find the right piece.
The 1355F and SD6V12 designations help when comparing to the existing stripped part. It is always advisable to check not only the numbers, but also the design of the pulley, attachment, connector and connection points.

Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for air conditioning compressor replacement, the exact procedure may vary depending on the specific model and design of the car. Before the assembly itself, it is always necessary to compare the used part with the original piece and to work in such a way as not to contaminate the air conditioning system.
1) Before assembly
- Check that the part designation and visual design match.
- Compare the mount, pulley, electrical connector, and A/C line connection points.
- Check the condition of the compressor body, threads, seating surfaces and pulley.
- Ensure that no dirt or moisture has penetrated the part during storage and transportation.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Common workshop tool kit
- Suitable wrenches and extensions
- Cleaning agents for cleaning contact surfaces
- Protective equipment
- New sealing material if required by system design
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Secure the vehicle securely against movement and prepare your work space.
- Before starting work, dismantle the original part in the usual way for the given vehicle.
- After disassembling the old compressor, carefully compare the old and the new piece.
- Check the condition of the connection lines, sealing surfaces and surrounding components.
- Clean the mating surfaces and remove any remnants of old gasket or dirt.
- Place the air conditioning compressor in place without force and check that it is seated correctly.
- Install the fasteners evenly so that the part is not in tension.
- Connect the A/C line and electrical connector if present.
- Check for proper belt routing and seating if included in the drive solution.
- Perform a final visual check that nothing is obstructing the pulley and that all connections are properly seated.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- After assembly, check that the part is correctly fixed and that there is no mechanical stress anywhere.
- Verify that the connectors and wiring are properly connected.
- After the system is operational, observe for unusual noises, vibrations or signs of leaks.
- When verifying the function of the air conditioner, observe the smooth operation and stable operation of the system.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Incorrect part comparison – always check the numbers and construction design before assembly.
- System contamination – work cleanly and do not leave open connection holes without protection.
- Damage to contact surfaces – when cleaning, do not use inappropriate tools that could deform the surfaces.
- Crooked compressor seating – the part must fit naturally, without being forced into position.
- Overview of the condition of the surrounding parts – before assembly, it is worth checking the connected components of the system as well.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Long-term wear during normal operation of the air conditioning system
- Insufficient lubrication or deteriorated working conditions in the system
- Contamination of the air conditioning circuit with dirt
- Leaks in the system and subsequent loading of the compressor
- Excessive stress on the belt drive or damage to the pulley
- Long-term inactivity of the air conditioner, which can worsen the condition of the internal parts of the compressor
