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 had one for seven years and 80k miles and the only problem I had was the A/C compressor. It was two years out of warranty and Honda went 50/50 with me on it. I drove the piss out of it, multiple trips to the redline every day, etc., and it was flawless mechanically and never burned oil or made any unhappy noises.
Pros: flawless mechanically, never burned oil
Cons: weak A/C, high revs
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 128747 km
I ordered the Denso part listed as being compatible after having cross referenced it with Denso's own site along with a new condenser, expansion valve and seals. Receive the order and take it to the shop for installation. They call and say it doesn't fit. The mounting holes on the old one are 133mm apart while the new is 132mm apart. They say the bolt simply won't go in due to it having such small tolerances.
Cons: part does not fit, incorrect dimensions
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
