a brand-new, OEM, plug-and-play Denso 471-1114 compressor is [$197.98 is on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Denso-471-1114-New-Compressor-Clutch/dp/B001UC9IMI) with prime shipping right now. It comes pre-filled with oil and with a new manifold (even though it's not in the photo). To me it was totally worth the extra $130 buying a new OEM compressor assembly. No Ebay quality to worry about, no time shimming up a new clutch, and the compressor itself is all new.

Pros: new OEM, pre-filled with oil, all new

Cons: higher cost

Vehicle: BMW

Part number: 471-1114

Aftermarket is okay but only buy new. I would trust Denso, Nissens or Valeo.

Pros: trust Denso, Nissens, Valeo

I drive a 2002 Jeep Liberty. I bought a pre-oiled Denso (OEM) A/C compressor for $130.00 online. Serpentine belt cost me $50. The dryer was another $25.

Pros: pre-oiled, good price

Vehicle: Jeep

I just opened up a new Denso AC compressor. The instructions say to turn it by hand 10 times to distribute the oil before installation. It was extremely difficult to turn. It tried both directions and it was hard either way.

Cons: difficult to turn

initial released comp by denso - low drag seals resulted in premature shaft bearing failure 2nd release revised denso - w/continued premature shaft bearing failure 3rd release "Sanden" & shaft bearing failure significantly reduced...

Pros: shaft bearing failure reduced

Cons: premature shaft bearing failure
