vs
AC compressor Denso or OEM FORD
Denso is the OE for AC Compressor, at least for my F10. Never replaced it since new, just had to replace the magnetic clutch few months ago after 7 years. The AC specialist I went to (also worked on my E39), they also suggested Denso for my AC compressor because it is serviceable.
Pros: long-lasting, serviceable
Vehicle:
BMW
I got a brand new Denso compressor, which is the supplier to Toyota and many other brands from [buyparts24.com](http://buyparts24.com) for AED945, also bought a receiver/dryer and expansion valve for AED200ish more. I would like to keep the car longterm and have proper working AC, as sitting in the traffic AC and radio are more important than brakes and tyres.........LOL
Pros: proper working AC, long-term reliability
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Just in case you haven't figured this out.
1996 Rav 4 AC compressor is the same body. Denso 4710161

Vehicle:

Looks like one of the suppliers is Denso. The safer bet is buying the Denso aftermarket version from Rockauto
Pros: safer bet
Vehicle:

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
I bought a Denso unit last year for my Honda, the first one that came out of the box from Rockauto the plastic connector was broken, replaced with the same one and the Denso AC only lasted for like 8 months. This is bulls**t
Cons: plastic connector broken, only lasted 8 months
Vehicle:
Honda
A/c compressor went out and I’m too cheap to fix it.
Cons: AC compressor went out
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 230000 km
I got a denso ac compressor from rock auto and it was leaking compressor oil in the box. I returned it, received a replacement and it was also leaking ac oil in the box.
Cons: leaking oil, faulty product
I recently replaced the AC compressor on my father's 2007 GMC Sierra 5.3L (non-classic) with around 130k miles. I told him to purchase Denso 4710315 from RockAuto which matched what he needed. While they were filling it, they heard a loud pop and refrigerant started spraying everywhere. They eventually found that this metal plug had blown off the back of the compressor.
Cons: metal plug blown off
Mileage: 209215 km
Part number: 4710315
