VALEO › AC compressor

Cooling performance:

It unfortunately hasn’t been smooth sailing all the way, suffering from well known problems with the early Stellantis E-CMP platform (such as the 11kW Mahle Supplied onboard charger and Valeo AC compressor). These issues were largely covered by Stellantis excluding a labor cost to rewrite the CCU software.

Other than that the car has been rough on tires, due to the FWD platform with less weight on the front wheels, it also needed a sway bar end replacing but has passed it’s 2nd inspection at 5 years old.

Cons: rough on tires

Vehicle: Peugeot

Mileage: 110000 km

I’ve been back 3x already on the recall for the Valeo AC compressor along with rear defrost and front end issues. Oh my Jesus! I’m about ready to drive it to the dam junkyard.

Cons: multiple recalls, frequent repairs, poor reliability

Oem is a Valeo brand compressor so if it's anything other than Valeo expect it to last less than 2 years , I went through 3 compressors in less than 2 years ( had warranty but got fed up with it ) and went with the oe replacement Valeo been 4 years now no issues

Pros: 4 years no issues
