Denso 7SB16C Air Conditioning Compressor – Audi
Audi Air Conditioning Compressor
The Denso 7SB16C is a compressor unit which is found fitted to early Audi’s and in fact a variety of VAG cars manufactured between 1995 – 2008. We stock the Denso 7SB16C aircon pump both as a brand new genuine OEM part and also it’s aftermarket equivalent. Both options come with a full 12 month warranty and guaranteed to save you money.
Audi Aircon Pump Problems
Air conditioning compressors very rarely fail due to old age, in fact we’ve often enough seen a good compressor outlive the vehicle it’s fitted to, it all comes down to how well it is maintained. Below are just some of the common problems known around this type of air conditioning compressor:
- Grinding Noise When Pressing Aircon Button
- Compressor Clutch Not Engaging
- Electrical Faults
- No Cold Air (Even After Re-filling Aircon Gas)
- Unable to Discharge Gas
- Unable to Refill Gas
- Pressure Problems
Replacing a failed compressor could end up costing you in excess of £500 +Vat just for the part alone and then there is the labour and re-gassing to add to that. The cheaper alternative is usually a second hand part but it’s never advised as you cannot say for sure how well it was maintained, if it is in any better condition then yours and how long it will last – used parts generally only come with 30-90 days warranty as well.
