Giving a 405 Sport Wagon another chance

2 minute(s) of a 111 minute read

Power of google did it again! I’ll admit it took me a bit of time to find what can fit and here it is. I always new there is something out there that is straight replacement and they definitely did not made that many different types of compressors back in the day.

Luckily for me I found open box on Ebay for $80 and regular prices are around $220 and this is also Sanden unit.

I should probably add that on these Sanden units back head and front pulley’s are interchangeable. I also got new drive belt and ideler pulleys. Since this car is equipped with XU10J4RS engine compressor pulley is for six rib belt so I’ll only need to swap over back head and electrical connector.

You folks are very welcome ????

Update on this, I had to use my front pulley as offset wasn't same and further research found that Sanden 8025 is equipped with correct pulley.

I vacuumed entire system for three hours before filling it back up and needle stayed in same place for 6 hours. At that point I filled it back up with R134a.

I’m using it for two weeks now and it’s working great.
