On test it is showing leakage! Is it possible to refurbish it. I was said that it is not, only new spare part is helping!!???


If you have been told the A/C compressor is leaking then a new or rebuilt compressor is needed.

As to fixing this A/C compressor, yes it probably can be done locally but that cost may exceed a new compressor. Local shop rates are higher than factory labor rates and the factory has the efficiency advantage of mass production - knowledge, tools and parts vs. one time learning, tool acquisition and parts sourcing. Few parts are actually repaired, most are replaced for this reason and due to their increasing complexity.

It could be just the seals where the hose connects to the compressor is leaking. You can buy rebuilt compressor for real good price if you buy direct from rebuilder... about half of wholesale price online part stores of the rebuilts..
