Description
A/C compressor bracket for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles with 1.6 eHDI engine.
The A/C compressor bracket is an essential mounting component that secures the air conditioning compressor to the engine block on vehicles equipped with the 1.6 e‑HDI diesel engine. This heavy‑duty metal bracket is designed to maintain correct compressor alignment, resist engine vibrations and allow reliable drive belt routing. Compatible with original equipment (OE) reference numbers, the part is commonly sought under OE codes 9672950980, 6453NS or aftermarket code 5606P9 — keywords that help mechanics and DIY technicians find the correct replacement quickly.
Fitment
Common applications include:
- Citroën C4 II (with 1.6 e‑HDI)
- Citroën C4 Picasso (with 1.6 e‑HDI)
- Peugeot 308 (with 1.6 e‑HDI)
- Peugeot 3008 I (with 1.6 e‑HDI)
- Peugeot 5008 I (with 1.6 e‑HDI)
Function And Symptoms
The bracket holds the A/C compressor in the correct position relative to the crankshaft pulley and other accessory drives. If the bracket is damaged or bent, you may notice:
- Unusual noise or vibration from the A/C compressor area.
- Misaligned drive belt, accelerated belt wear or belt slip.
- Loss of A/C compressor drive engagement or seized compressor due to stress on mounting points.
Replacement And Installation
Typical replacement procedure for experienced technicians / competent DIYers:
- Legally recover the A/C refrigerant by a qualified technician before disconnecting A/C lines.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions.
- Support the A/C compressor to avoid strain on hoses when unbolting the bracket.
- Remove the drive belt and any obstructing components to access the bracket bolts.
- Unbolt the old bracket, inspect surrounding studs, threads and attachment points for damage or corrosion.
- Fit the new bracket, reuse or replace fasteners as required and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
- Reinstall belt, verify alignment and tension, then have the A/C system evacuated, leak‑tested and recharged by a certified workshop.
Recommended For Installation
- Use new bolts or studs if existing fasteners are corroded or stretched.
- Follow OEM torque values and tightening sequence to avoid distortion.
- Check pulley alignment and belt condition when replacing the bracket; replace the belt if worn.
- Perform A/C pressure/leak checks and system recharge only with appropriate equipment and certification.
Why The Part Typically Fails
Common causes of bracket failure include long‑term corrosion in regions exposed to road salt or moisture, metal fatigue from continuous vibration, impact damage (e.g., from road debris), and damaged or stripped threads at mounting points. Failure often manifests as increased vibration, noisy operation or premature belt wear.
