View Full Version : Are the cheap eBay A/C compressors any good - 'Rada KF Xi

So my A/C compressor has worn out again - I put a used one in 5 years ago and considering the high milage of the car, was happy with that decision. Tempted to put another used one but have noticed places selling new ones for under $300.

Eg. eBay items 141417425771 and 191432390649

Anyone use one of these? A few years ago a replacement new compressor for under $900 was hard to find, but these look OK since I intend to keep the car a long time.

Also do all KF's come with the same compressor? Is mine likely to be a MSC90 or MSC90C?

Thanks in advance,

Ian.

Ok I checked the RED sticker on my A/C compressor and I have a MSC105CF fitted. A few people are selling used MSC105CFs but I would still prefer to buy a new one, and the only new ones on sale appear to be MSC105C..... can anyone tell me what the difference is between the MSC105C and MSC105CF design?

Cheers,

Ian.
