Technical Specifications of the Mini Air Conditioning Compressor

The A/C Compressor Pump offered here belongs to the Air Conditioning Compressors & Clutches category, meaning it is a key component responsible for compressing the refrigerant in the A/C system. Its OEM construction guarantees compliance with Mini's factory requirements for performance, operating pressure, and engine bay mounting.

This part has been specifically designed for the air conditioning system architecture in Mini R50, R52, and R53 models, ensuring:

• correct mounting points to the engine block and accessories,
• appropriate connections for high and low-pressure lines,
• compatibility with factory belt-driven accessories.

Benefits of Using an Original Mini Compressor

Choosing an original Mini air conditioning compressor allows you to maintain the system's performance parameters as intended by the manufacturer. This provides the user with:

• stable cooling performance across a wide range of ambient temperatures,
• proper interaction with the receiver-drier, expansion valve, and A/C control unit,
• preservation of the factory engine load characteristics when the air conditioning is engaged.

An original compressor from this series is also a cost-effective service solution for post-accident repairs or replacement of a worn-out component, as it helps minimize the risk of fitment issues and system leaks.

Application in Mini R50, R52, R53 Models

The Mini R50 R52 R53 A/C Compressor 1171310 was developed with the specific body and engine bay construction of these Mini generations in mind. This ensures a predictable installation process for mechanics, without the need for modifications to brackets or lines.

The compressor is particularly useful for:

• comprehensive air conditioning system overhauls following compressor failure,
• collision repairs where front engine accessories have been damaged,
• restoring full air conditioning functionality in older Mini models where the factory compressor has lost its efficiency.

Condition and Installation Aspects

The offered compressor is from the used original parts segment, allowing you to combine factory fitment with an attractive price compared to new components. Before installation, standard service procedures are recommended: checking the system for contaminants, replacing the receiver-drier, and performing a leak test and proper refrigerant fill.

Thanks to its original construction, the compressor works with the factory Mini air conditioning control system, facilitating diagnostics and subsequent service.
