Car Forum / Volvo Cars / September 2005Which UK Volvo has the York A/C Compressors ???
Hi all I'm new to this group and mostly live in alt.fan.landrover. I want to get hold of a York A/C compressor from a scrapper. A friend of mine has told me to look at Volvo's as they used this type for a while. The problem is I dont know what model or age to look at. A quick look around the local scrap yard revealed many volvo's but none with A/C. I am in the UK. Hope you can help. Thanks.

A/C became standard on all Volvos in '86 here but they all had Diesel-Kiki compressors at least up to as recent as I've dealt with. I suspect a 240 with A/C old enough to have a York compressor would be quite rare in the UK and if you do find one it's likely that the 22+ year old compressor will need some work. >Over here all the pre-85 240's with A/C had the York compressor and most of >them had it.

OK, many thanks. I guess I'll just need to be patient, or find somehting else! Thanks again. Jon > >Over here all the pre-85 240's with A/C had the York compressor and most of > >them had it.

What do you need the compressor for? I know I've seen someplace that sells rebuilt ones. Its to go into my Landrover to use as an onboard air compressor. I currently have a Sanden one but this was designed to use the refrigerant as lubricant. Consequently now I need to periodically feed oil into the compressor - this isnt a real problem but for the oil in the air etc etc. Whilst the oil trap catches most of it... A York compressor with integral oil sump and traditional piston design would be better. Cost is also a factor, hence on the lookout for one off a scrapper. There is a place in the states (on eBay) that does them for about $200 - $300. Too expensive!

Too expensive! Hmm, I think they were used on quite a few domestic vehicles here, never really looked for one but I can have a peek the next time I'm at a junkyard. I think shipping to there might be prohibitively expensive though. I have one in my 240 but it's serving it's intended purpose so I'm gonna leave it there :) Hey actually I just looked on ebay, there's quite a few of them but again there's the shipping issue. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/York-210L-A-C-ARB-On-Board-Air-Compressor-Clutch_ W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33543QQitemZ7996822206QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW >> Its to go into my Landrover to use as an onboard air compressor. >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >there's the shipping issue. >http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/York-210L-A-C-ARB-On-Board-Air-Compressor-Clutch_ W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33543QQitemZ7996822206QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Thanks for this, as you say shipping is really prohibitive. I will need to keep a look out for old 240's here with A/C.

Jeeps of the relevant age will be more scare than the preverbial rocking horse doo da's!! I will keep an eye out for the Merc's though as we have lots of them (relatively speaking!).
