Review on UAC CO 101290C C Compressor by David Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2006 V8 Mustang Parts

Used to replace the FS-10 A/C Compressor in a Ford Mustang V8 that was exhibiting pulley knock that was getting worse over time. The device I received was marked "Made in Korea" not China as shown in the photos. I installed it myself as I'm a mechanic and have access to professional air conditioning in my workshop. No pulley/belt alignment issues or leaks. Came preloaded with 6 ounces of PAG oil as per the sticker. I lost about an ounce of oil that was already in the A/C when extracting the freon with the A/C. I ended up turning it upside down and manually rotating the pulley to drain the 2-3 ounces of oil that was already in the compressor. The compressor already had the new O-rings needed for installation. Electronic connector for the magnetic coil of the air conditioning clutch. The old part of the bike was aligned at 6 o'clock while this part was rotated at 10 o'clock. This can be fixed by removing the pulley and rotating the spool. However, I didn't have to do this. It still worked for this application as the car's wiring harness had enough slack to properly seat the connector in the new position. It works fine, the air conditioner blows cold and the air conditioner pulley no longer makes noise.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Almost OK
