Air Conditioning Compressor Assembly - the engine-driven pump at the head of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit.

Driven by the auxiliary belt from the crankshaft pulley, the compressor draws low-pressure refrigerant vapour from the evaporator outlet and discharges it at high pressure to the condenser, where it gives up heat and condenses back to liquid. Drive is taken up and released by an electromagnetic clutch on the compressor pulley, which the climate control system engages on demand.

For the 4.2L V8 supercharged petrol and 4.4L V8 EFI petrol engines.

The refrigerant circuit must be evacuated before removal and recharged with the correct refrigerant and compressor oil charge after fitting.

Frequently asked questions

What does the air conditioning compressor assembly do?
This is the engine-driven pump at the head of the AC refrigerant circuit. Driven by the auxiliary belt from the crankshaft pulley, it draws low-pressure refrigerant vapour from the evaporator and discharges it at high pressure to the condenser, where it releases heat and condenses back to liquid.
Which Range Rover models does this compressor fit?
This compressor fits the Range Rover L322 (2002-2009) with the 4.2L V8 Supercharged or 4.4L V8 EFI petrol engine (220kW), from VIN 7A000001. Confirm your engine and VIN against these figures before ordering.
What's involved in fitting this compressor?
The refrigerant circuit must be evacuated before the old compressor is removed, and recharged with the correct refrigerant and compressor oil charge after fitting. This requires refrigerant recovery equipment, so it's a job for a workshop with AC servicing capability rather than a home DIY task.
Why do AC compressors fail on the Range Rover L322?
Common causes include the electromagnetic clutch wearing out, internal seal failure leading to refrigerant loss, or bearing wear inside the compressor itself. Signs to watch for are a noisy or seized clutch, weak or no cold air, and visible oil residue at the compressor's fittings.
