Air con compressor replacement

[Bearly awake]

Has anybody here changed the air con pump themselves on a 2.0D? Obviously will have to get it de-gassed and re-gassed professionally, but thought I might change the actual compressor myself to save on labour, looks quite tricky to get to though.. .

hi

I'd try change it yourself, like you said it would save you quite a bit on labour

I assume its faulty and usually when they fail, they don't hold gas, so it shouldn't need degassing

I have not changed one on a x-type, but I assume the 2.0d model has the most space in the engine bay, compared to the v6's

cheers
