AC compressor OEM Honda or Denso

We have a 2010 CR-V with 200k miles. It’s been the most absolutely reliable and capable vehicle we’ve ever owned. We live in MN, an it has always gone everywhere we needed with zero problems.

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.

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.

I’ve had some cheapo parts store compressor in there since and it’s surprisingly still going fine. Though it was never as cold as the original.

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.

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?

I’ve been waiting for an AC compressor since April and every month the date got pushed back more. I called various dealers they didn’t have it one of the dealers told me the order has been back ordered for 6 months already. I had an extended warranty and they replaced with an aftermarket part. A denso as well. Took 3 months to get my car back from the dealer. They also charged 6k for complete unit. Mind you my pilot is a 2020 with only 26k miles.
