Legacy Gen 4 AC compressor 'goosed' :-(

Postby Graphite » Wed Jun 04, 2014 2:45 am

My AC compressor clutch decided to fry itself on the way down to Bath to pick up my son from Uni on Sunday :eek: - and what's worse it took out the bloomin' HVAC control system - so I didn't even have the air to blast at me during the 4 hour 23/24°C trip LOL :D

Managed to find the blown fuse today number 22 in the interior fusebox, labelled A/C IGN, if anyone else ends up suffering the same problem... So I should at least have some ventillation for the ProDrive trip :mrgreen:

And what's the worst thing... the disintegrating part made a horrible mess all over my nice clean engine bay :eek:

Strange gritty remains of magnetic clutch I guess...

So my question is will any old Scooby compressor do - or will I need a specific one for a gen 4 Legacy? Loads of dead Imprezas around - but not so many dead Legacys...

Cheers :D

Yes we were quiet at work and have all the tools we need - my night shift buddy is a hugely experienced mechanic too - which gives me 'a little extra confidence' in giving some of these jobs a go :lol:
