Review on πŸ’ͺ Enhanced Compressor - Next Generation Compressor by David West

Revainrating 1 out of 5

AC has been working like new for 3 months. then Epic Fail

Original: Works well. Just in time for the hottest July on record and $200 less than Autozone. Update: Ironically, within a day of writing the original review, the device began declining. Got me 3 months later then started at 4th month, worked at times until it was producing cold air more often than it was cooling. Had to recharge several times from the 3rd month. On the 4 month anniversary of receipt while waiting in the 86 degree heat to pick up a friend from the train, the seal on this compressor apparently broke as it was emitting smoke/steam and leaking all of the factory sealed oil under the car body and up the floor. Luckily it didn't bind so the belt is still spinning / and the car is free to move. Revane got up, and less than 24 hours after I called from the train station, a replacement was at my door. I read the reviews again and found that my orig is one of the few good ones. I decided not to be fooled twice. I send back the bad block and replacement and go to the OEM compressor which Revain sells for Β£47 more than I paid for that brand (which has since gone down about 35 inches). I'm stuck paying for a clean install out of my own pocket and can't imagine doing the same thing again in months instead of years. Orig. lasted 8 years. Hopefully the OEM I've chosen will last for years and not months. Will be updated once the new one works.

Pros
  • Premium Quality ISO/TS 16949; tested to meet or exceed OEM specs
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
