A few months back I was all set to get my rattling a/c compressor replaced with a remanufactured unit from a local a/c specialist. The a/c is still working OK, just the compressor is noisy, and steadily getting noisier. But then something went amiss with one of our other cars that needed sorting first, so the a/c swap was put on hold.
I was quoted around £500 (I think, from memory) to have a recon compressor fitted. I was just browsing the Neo Brothers site, and found a brand new Nissens compressor for £190 (part only). Would the labour to fit this be likely to take the total cost to over the £500 I had been quoted for a remanufactured part?
And what is better? Brand new Nissen's part, or a remanufactured part from an a/c specialist?
