    I am on the market for an AC compressor. . . and maybe some other parts.

    I am mostly interested in what brand to purchase or which one to avoid. I saw UAC, Four Season, Delphi, Global, Denso. Denso by far the most expensive.

    Any Recommendations will be greatly appreciated. I live in Canada, so if they don't ship international, it won't work for me. Then again, I might have it ship to a USA mailbox.
    Thank in advance, and sorry if that has been covered, I couldn't find it.

    Yes, it's a Delphi. Just wondering if someone tried something else with great success.

    No help I'm afraid, but if you find a decently priced replacement I'd appreciate knowing what and where, presently they range from $250 - $700 (Canadian), along with the cost of mounting and refilling the Freon, etc...
    Heading into the 4 or 5 days of the year when I need AC on the west cost of Canada!

    Denso makes the better unit. Much much better than the OEM which is Delphi crap.
