Default A/C Compressor

Can anyone tell me if the A/C compressor is the same for all variants or different for the diesels ? Mine has packed up a week after a re-gas !
Thanks in advance chaps.

Thread moved to appropriate forum. Re-direct left in old. This may be the better forum as things get 'buried' very quickly in the General Forum.

Chris,

Make sure that you have the correct diagnosis there. It's rather a coincidence, don't you think? If too much refrigerant has been added, or if the drier was not purged of stored moisture, the pressure can rise above the safe maximum and the compressor will then be disabled. Alternatively your condenser could be inefficient giving the same effect.

If you went to a fast-fit outfit where they just press a button on an automatic machine, I would get a second opinion from a proper specialist in your area before replacing anything.
