Review on Denso 471-6025 Air Conditioning Compressor by Philip Anderson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

bad clutches - air conditioning

The clutch on these compressors is poorly made. The original supercharger clutch failed at 63,000 miles, just after Kia's 60,000 mile warranty expired. Was replaced by this compressor. Now, 28 months later, at 102,000 miles, the replaced compressor's clutch failed. Was working great until that happened. The clutch is not a separate part on these cars, it is integrated with the supercharger and I have been told that the only way to replace the clutch is to replace the entire supercharger.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
