Intended Use and Technical Characteristics
The presented air conditioning compressor is a component of the cabin air cooling system, dedicated to the BMW F20 and F30 LCI series with Diesel engines. The compressor's design has been engineered to meet the requirements of diesel units, ensuring adequate performance within typical diesel RPM ranges and thermal loads.
As a part from the Air Conditioning Compressors and Clutches category, this component is responsible for compressing the refrigerant and cooperating with the drive accessories, including the compressor clutch and serpentine belt accessories. The use of an original compressor allows for maintaining correct system pressure characteristics and stable operation of the entire air conditioning system.
Benefits of Using an Original BMW Compressor
Using a used, original compressor in a BMW F20/F30 LCI offers a range of practical benefits compared to low-quality aftermarket alternatives:
- Factory Compatibility – maintaining conformity with the electrical system and air conditioning control system in the specific BMW model.
- Adequate Cooling Performance – the compressor is matched to the specific diesel engine configuration and air conditioning system.
- Stable System Operation – proper cooperation with pressure sensors, expansion valve, and receiver-drier, contributing to maintaining a consistent cabin temperature.
- Optimal Drive Load – the manufacturer-designed construction limits excessive load on the accessory belt and pulleys.
Condition, Verification, and Selection by Numbers
The offered air conditioning compressor is a used component, sourced from disassembly, which helps reduce repair costs while maintaining original BMW specifications. Before sale, such components are routinely verified for leaks, mechanical operation, and any potential body damage.
For correct compressor selection, it is crucial to compare the OEM part number and available replacement numbers with the vehicle's documentation or the manufacturer's catalog. If in doubt, it is advisable to use the VIN to ensure the compressor is suitable for the specific engine version and model year of the BMW F20 or F30 LCI.
Operation and Installation Recommendations
When installing a used air conditioning compressor in a BMW, it is recommended to:
- Professional Installation – installation by a workshop experienced in servicing air conditioning systems and BMW vehicles.
- System Flushing – cleaning of the lines and condenser to remove contaminants from the previous compressor.
- Replacement of Consumables – particularly the receiver-drier and, if necessary, the expansion valve, to ensure longer and more stable system operation.
- Check Refrigerant and Oil Levels – filling the system according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, using the correct type of compressor oil.
This approach allows for maximizing the potential of a used compressor and minimizing the risk of premature failures.
