Amongst other things I spent 35+ years fitting & servicing car air-conditioning.

If you have any other questions, I could probably help.

Hi all

Would like to have the factory ac working in my HJ, the system needs gas as the compressor was degassed when the engine was removed for a rebuild and an engine bay tidy up. My question is, should I stay with the A6 Harrison compressor, or change to the Sanden type? Is the original A6 Harrison unit suitable for R134A gas? Searching the net it seems that genuine Sanden 508 compressors are scarce in aus (plenty in the us) but Sanden 508 style copies are readily available and not expensive. Is a Sanden Compressor a suitable replacement for the A6 type or is their another type that could work?
Is anyone running the cheaper Sanden imitations or should I stick with genuine Sanden?
Any advise is appreciated.
