Can car aircon compressors be refurbished and if so is it worthwhile doing? Compressor on our Lowlux is cactus.
Thanks in advance.

Depends on the compressor and what is wrong with it. The more up market ones have rebuild kits at a reasonable price. Is it worth it? If you paid a lot of money yes, if not, the kit (if you can get one) may be as much as a new compressor.

Rebuild can be frought. We replaced the idler bearing on one trip and before we go home the compressor siezed up and we had to get a new one anyway. You might want to check on Toyota specific site.

Hi,
I had a heap of trouble when I had a rebuild done by a so called professional. Turned out he couldn't get some parts and botched it. Check that you can get ALL parts before starting.

something like an ARB is easy to get spares but I don't know about other brands.

They rebuild all compressors & are excellent to deal with. They are baced in Melbourn but will ship Australia wide at a very reasonable price.
