Review on RYC Remanufactured Compressor Clutch IG275 by Gabriel Day

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It worked but it's ugly

Review in 60 days: The compressor worked and was easy to replace. Make sure you have a vacuum and replace your dryer, both are cheap at Revain. I had to replace the compressor because. I broke a bolt while changing the clutch. The entire supercharger is painted silver and there were a lot of spatter lumps on the clutch pulley that needed to be scraped off. I would probably recommend another provider if the price difference is just $20. But the compressor works, but I don't. If you need to measure the oil, just charge it with freon. Again, I recommend getting a vacuum and swapping out the dehumidifier if you don't have one. I didn't change the whole capacitor but I wish I had as the NAM forums show some of them clogging internally. don't think my compressor was really bad as mine probably wasn't loosened. My Mini Cooper had a problem with a blown fan resistor at low speed. I created a temporary bypass mod. Check this first before replacing the compressor! I would also suggest replacing the fan module with a newer design next time you are in external maintenance mode. The OEM resistor will fail and the air conditioner will not work if the high speed fan is not working. The NAM forums seem to be recommending a TYC version which I'll update to the next one when I get it out.

Pros
  • Compressors and parts
Cons
  • Too long to wait
