## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great
*by J***S on August 13, 2025*

Perfect fit for my 2001 Infiniti QX4. Compressor runs absolutely silently. You only hear a click when the compressor turns on. Very reasonably priced. Two hundred dollars less than my local auto parts store! The only downfall is it does not come with new O rings for the two refrigeration lines that must be removed from your old compressor and installed on the new compressor. These O rings must be replaced. Those i bought from my local auto parts store for less than five dollars. The other difference is the length of the electrical connector wire. The new one is shorter than the original and will have to be removed from the clip on the new compressor. But that's no problem because by doing that and plugging it into the engine plug there's enough slack that the wire is naturally held in place away from anything. So it works perfectly fine unclipped and just plugged in loose, for lack of a better explanation. If you have a 2001 thru 2003 Infiniti QX4 or Nissan Pathfinder with the 3.5L V6 this is the compressor you want! I'm nice and cool again!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Parts are very nice quality
*by H***R on August 17, 2025*

The compressor I got for my vehicle, bolted up perfect and got my AC working like new. great product thanks!

### ⭐ Pipe too small. Doesn't fit
*by C***C on September 1, 2025*

This is this second time I'm buying this item because the first time, the guy who installed it didn't tell me that it wasn't a perfect fit. It lasted exactly 2 years. I just bought this same product for the second time and paid for express delivery and it was 3 days late which caused me great inconvenience. Having installed it with a new guy, I'm realizing now that it's not a perfect fit for my 02 WRX. The body of the compressor bolts on well so it seems to be a correct fit but then the pipe isn't a good fit. It's too small. The first guy that installed it told me that he had used a size 10 and 12 o-ring to make it fit so I tried that as a fix fit the second one but it only lasted for 2 days. I'm going to have to find a replacement pipe that fits because it's already installed and I can't be bothered to take it out and send it backCustomer service, I want a refund for my express shipping too
