A/C Compressor for 87 Tercel 4WD

Post by dcn »

After only 400,000 Km my air conditioning gave up. Seems a little early for stuff to be going wrong with my car, hope it's not a lemon :)

Anyway, we're being told it's the clutch but my Dad's not entirely convinced it's not the compressor itself that's dead. You can turn the AC on for a few seconds, it blows cold, then it makes on little squeek and (if left on we found out) the compressor or clutch will smoke. So I need a new clutch and/or compressor. We looked around a ton today and it seems that mine is one of the only Tercs around here (Eastern Canada) that has AC. It came from Winnipeg though, maybe Central/Western Canada ad US Tercels had it more often. We found 4WD heaven today, there were at least 8 Tercs at a junkyard, none had what I needed. We did find a Cressida that may have the same compressor, couldn't tell for sure.

Does ayone have any that they're willing to sell? I hope someone can help me, I don't dare call the Stealership for one, they wanted over $100 for a new 'Toyota' decal for my trunk last year...

My local scrap yard has an 86 with orig. AC. Can ask how much they want for whatever it is you need. Not sure if it works. PM me if you want me to inquire.
