DensoNEW AC COMPRESSOR (4711537)

It's not working, no cold air is coming out. Defect products are sometimes ok if you can ask them to ship another to replace it, but not for me.The main problem is that I spent $450 to install it on my car, how am I supposed to return/replace it? I need spend another $450 to install it again?

It works perfectly for my Acura TL08.

Buying an oem ac compressor at this price you can't beat it. Works. Bought for my 2004 Acura tl. Would've given it 5 stars if it came with the conditioner hose adapter. They say to use your old one from your ac compressor. Yeah! Only if you can take it off without stripping the bolt, which had happened. Got one bolt off but other one stripped. These bolt size are small like 5.5mm wierd size even tried penetrating oil. Looked around on the internet and nobody sells that adapter piece. So went to the junkyard found like 5 other ac compressor hose adapter and same thing happens stripped bolt. Came home and had no choice but to grind out that bolt. Found a bolt that fits and just made it work. So if you can take your old one off then good but if it strips then you're out of luck.

I changed mine and with the right tools, you probably can, too.I think my tools comprised:metric sockets and wrenchesbelt tensioner tool - I bought the Powerbuilt one here on Amazonnutdriver and pliers (to remove the upper radiator hose when changing the drier)long pry bar - I bought the TEKTON pry bar set here on AmazonA/C manifold gauge set and a vacuum pump - I bought these from Harbor Freight and Craigslistpocket themometer - I bought the Supco 1.75" model here on AmazonI had never done this sort of work before but I found it to be much easier than I expected. I was quoted $1600 for the job for a new - not rebuilt compressor, drier, and expansion valve. I did the entire job with parts and tools from Amazon for $350- $400!I read one review that suggested removing the bumper but I came at it from the top. There is a great YouTube video showing the entire process and I highly recommend watching that before you begin. The entire process took me 2-3 hours but again, I had never done this kind of job before.I would definitely recommend this Denso compressor. This is the 3rd compressor for this car - 215,000 miles and still running great. The last compressor was a Four Seasons and it lasted only a single season. True, it was less expensive than this Denso but I cannot afford to change a compressor every year. Buy this one....you won't be sorry.

As so common with this year range of Honda AC compressors the clutch magnetic ring had stopped working. While a new clutch is available the simplicity and cost savings of repair vs this new model made this purchase the right choice. I recommend draining/measuring the oil from the old unit so as to adjust the oil level in the new unit. Also, having the ac lines open is a really good opportunity to replace the schrader service valves, which tend to leak over time and are cheap compared to adding more ac if they leak).* This unit has been in constant use since it's installation in August and not a single peep or issue from this compressor.
