Title: air con compressor 2.5td xj mk1
Post by: chereeoke on March 06, 2008, 12:40:05 PM

morning
The drive coupling has been removed from the pump to the air con compressor, I assume because the compressor is broken.
I have picked up a s/h compressor but the end part/clutch? has a lot of play in it, does anyone know if this is supposed to be, the one on the vehicle doesnt have this but maybe due to it being seized, athough it does spin?
I dont want to remove and fit the replacement if its buugared!
thanks
richard

It's no good if it has play in it.

thanks mike, nice and succinct.
If the one on the jeep was working would I see this part move in/out when the aircon is switched to on even without the pump connected?

No The clutch is enclosed in the drive housing.
