2 types of AC compressors?
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2021 3:25 am
Hi,
I've just had my ac serviced. Had one leak at the condensor and one going into the front evaporator and somewhere near the rear evaporator. Three new o-rings and and probably the major leaks are now covered now. But... the shop mentioned that the compressor was leaking near the clutch. Not much, but still. These leaks don't get smaller over time.
So looking for a replacement compressor. I have the LE luxury model with rear heat and ac (RHET3 package). Apparantly there are 2 types of compressors: 92600EA200 (regular) and 92600EB02A (RHET3). The latter is very hard to find, the regular is pretty easy. Can I use the regular one instead of the RHET3 one? The bolt pattern will be the same, the pulley will be the same (at least the drive belt is), from the googled pictures the connections look identical. Is it merely that the RHET3 compressor has a higher capacity?
thanks again
