Title: a/c compressor needed for 16v cc
Post by: Vikar33 on April 08, 2008, 07:40:51 PM
Hi Guys

I have a problem with my 33 16v, the front end is very low and was consistently hitting the metal pipes connecting the rubber hoses to the a/c. I have now broken it 2x and my mechanic thinks that it needs a new compressor...so i need one and cant get the part from anywhere...

Can anyone help. I been without my car for a month already and miss it tremendously......need my fix   soon.

regards

Vik

I'd remove it altogether and do without.  It'll save you 12 kilos and gain you about 5hp.

Otherwise, check out any local Euro car wreckers or call Milano Spares in Melbourne for a 2nd hand one.
