Evening all!
So on going to get my air con regassed today it seems my compressors seals have gone and was advised I would need to replace. I was given a price for a replacement (from an Alfa 166 - code 14-1121). I also had a quick online search and found reference made to a Sanden SD1 V16 as suitable replacement:
http://www.maseratiforum.co.uk/3200GT_Aircon_Compressor_Leak/m_23172/tm.htm
This also mentions a company in Birmingham who supplies replacements/refurbishes them. Anyone on here used them or others?
As to fitting the manual suggests it is quite straightforward (wish I had done it when changing the timing belt earlier this year!) but anyone got any pointers on it? How much do I have to remove to get to it? Possible from below?
As always, any help gratefully received before I start poking around!
Olly
