Description

Product Overview

This high-performance Sanden SD7V16 1240F air conditioning compressor is designed specifically for use in various Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. It provides efficient cooling performance, ensuring your vehicle’s climate control system operates smoothly, even under demanding conditions. The compressor is a crucial component of the vehicle’s A/C system, responsible for compressing and circulating refrigerant, which absorbs heat from the cabin and expels it outside.

Compatible Models

This compressor fits a wide range of PSA group vehicles, including Citroën models like Berlingo, C4, C5, C8, and Xsara Picasso, as well as Peugeot models 206, 307, 406, 607, 806, and 807. The part is often searched by its product numbers, making it easier to find and confirm fitment.

Function and Common Issues

The air conditioning compressor regulates refrigerant flow through the A/C system. Over time, compressors can fail due to wear on internal components, poor lubrication, or contamination from the cooling system. Typical symptoms of a failing compressor include weak cooling performance, unusual noises, or complete loss of air conditioning function. Replacing the compressor restores system efficiency and prolongs the overall lifespan of your vehicle’s climate control.

Replacement Tips

When replacing the compressor, it is recommended to also inspect the system for leaks, replace the receiver/drier, and flush the refrigerant lines to remove debris, ensuring optimal operation. Professional installation is advised for best results, but experienced DIY mechanics can carry out the replacement using standard automotive tools by disconnecting the drive belt, removing refrigerant properly, and securing the new compressor with correct torque settings.
