Reviews of Denso AC compressor

Spent the extra dough (almost always worth it with these cars) and bought the Denso. It’s been perfect.

On Rock Auto, there appears to be a Denso model for both the 1.6L and 1.8L 1997 Corolla.

He fixed it by replacing the ac compressor with a Denso compressor and replacing the condenser as well. No ac issues for the past 8 years.

Second defective Denso. First one sent shrapnel through the whole system, and the whole system was replaced. This unit is under vacuum so it is only the clutch pulley turning.

Bought Denso from rockauto. It is made in Japan. Be sure to replace the condenser and txv. And flush the lines before installing. For best results. Then forget about Ac for the times ahead.

Installed a denso on one car and it came from California I had bad luck with 2 aftermarket units before pulling the trigger on the denso and never looked back

COO was Japan on the Denso I ordered from RA. Likely the same exact thing as OE Lexus, with a different sticker.

we have a 2006 RAV4 V6 that had a belt blow last year, necessitating a new A/C compressor. We got a Denso, but have had repeated leaks and on investigation our mechanic says it's apparently leaking from the compressor itself.

Sadly it appears it was a POS, because it's now leaking and we have to replace again. Any reason why a compressor would crap out after about 16 months?

An Amazon AC compressor is probably not a good choice. Denso and Valeo make the AC compressors for most auto manufacturers, these would be the only two I would consider for aftermarket replacement if available.
