AC compressor OEM Subaru or Denso
Reviews
denso compressor 100%, you’ll end replacing that uac in a year if you get it
Pros: reliable, long-lasting
Cons: UAC not durable
When I replaced the AC compressor in my E92 I went with a Denso. Just so happened that the original i pulled out was a Denso as well with BMW badging so I would go that route.
Pros: original was Denso
Vehicle:
BMW
skip the auto zone and get an a/c compressor from rock auto \n[https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/honda,2010,cr-v,2.4l+l4,1444968,heat+&+air+conditioning,a/c+compressor,6628](https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/honda,2010,cr-v,2.4l+l4,1444968,heat+&+air+conditioning,a/c+compressor,6628) \ngo with the nissen or denso
Pros: nissen or denso

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

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
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

My 2016 wrx has an AC compressor fit for a small drawer or shitty wine fridge. In the summer I can have the AC in full blast for the whole ride and the car never cools off. :(
Cons: car never cools off
Vehicle:
