Title: Sanden Air Con compressor
Post by: SRC on May 18, 2012, 08:14:36 am
Guys -

I need a new air con compressor and a quick search on here tells me that I need a Sanden PXE16, and not one of the other two brands, which will both just fail again.

My local VAG specialist wants over £500.  There's a firm in South London (it would be a Sin to libel them here) advertising at £229 but they have very poor feedback on the forums and I wasn't impressed when I phoned them.

Mavoy Parts in Eire are offering 334 Euros delivered, but for a PXE14.  They say this is a replacement for the PXE16.

Are they right?  Can I do better?

All help appreciated!
