Greetings all,
I wonder if someone might be able to help me, I'm looking at a potential fault with the air con compressor and / clutch mechanism and i'm trying to identify the correct part number for a replacement unit.
I've found two parts at just £136 in VAT for the compressor & clutch which seems almost too good to be true but it's the part numbers that are bothering me at the moment. There's a 14-1226 & a 14-1226P. The former covers Apr 2000 - Nov 2002 and the latter covers Nov 2002 - Jul 2006. I'm wondering which one should I consider?
Mine is a Galaxy Mk2 on a 52 plate so it's probably got the 14-1226 version.
I'm interested to know the difference between the two if anyone knows as they look identical. Unfortunately my car is not with me so I can't check which part I have fitted but I could do with ordering a replacement today if possible.
That's assuming it is the compressor / clutch... The aux belt came off this week and the tensioner pulley had melted. I noted another recent post here from someone with a similar problem and that was related to the compressor clutch failing so I'm guessing I have a similar problem. I'm hoping to get it properly diagnosed later today... Not helped that I need the car urgently on Sunday and the backup motorbike has just been returned to me without an MOT which is not helping matters (grr...)
Many thanks

Mark
