Replacement A/C magnetic clutch and pulley

Recommended Posts

My 986 Boxster A/C has stopped working - the footwell relay clicks when I press the AC button, RPM changes very slightly, I've checked the fuses and relay in the rear trunk, and all seems good.

I used to be able to hear the clutch engage behind me but now I can't and the vent temperature isn't cool enough as I remember it was when the AC was working.

A complete compressor is £500 or so from Porsche, Denso or Nissens equivalents are £350, but there is a part number for the magnetic clutch - 996 573 926 00.

I've looked online for the clutch itself but nowhere to be found at half reasonable prices. Anyone know where I might get hold of one ?

Well, yeah - except the clutch and pulley don't appear to be available separately.

It does appear that the compressor by Hella (part number 8FK 351 132-581) is a direct replacement and they're available for under £200, which is good news...
