Description
Product Overview
The Sanden SD7C16 1300F air conditioning compressor is designed for PSA Group vehicles, specifically Citroën and Peugeot models.

Function and Importance
The compressor is the heart of the air conditioning system. It pressurizes the refrigerant gas, enabling heat exchange and subsequent cooling of the vehicle’s interior. Over time, compressors can fail due to wear on internal components such as bearings and seals, insufficient lubrication, or contamination within the system. Symptoms of a failing compressor include reduced cooling efficiency, unusual noises, or complete loss of AC function.
Installation and Compatibility
Installing the Sanden SD7C16 1300F compressor typically involves removing the serpentine belt, disconnecting electrical connections as well as refrigerant lines, and unbolting the compressor from the engine block. Proper handling of refrigerant is essential and should be performed according to environmental and safety regulations. This compressor fits Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, particularly models like the Citroën C5 2006 2.0 16V. Confirm compatibility using product codes before installation.
