Afternoon fellows

The clutch bolt or nut thing sheared off the AC pump clutch on our trusty old MK6 and the missus can't be doing without AC.

I can see a green plaque on the original pump, which says it's made by Sanden, but I can't find them in the aftermarket. Cheapest I can find is a genuine replacement from ebay for £700, but I've seen Denso ones for less than half that. Has anyone tried a Denso pump and had good luck with it?

The car is only worth a few packets of crisps and a Mars Bar, so we don't want to spend too much on it.

TIA

Yup, bought a few of them for various cars over the years and never had an issue.

Thank you. The local indie have quoted us £567 fitted for a Denso unit, new drier and regas etc. Not too bad at all.
