Description
This Sanden SD6V12 air conditioning compressor, part numbers 6453QF and 6453QE, is designed for efficient cooling system operation on various Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. It is commonly used in popular models such as the Citroën C2, C3, Berlingo, Partner, Xsara, and Xsara Picasso, as well as Peugeot 206 and 307.
The compressor plays a critical role in the vehicle’s air conditioning system by circulating refrigerant and maintaining optimal cooling performance. Proper function ensures comfort during driving by preventing cabin overheating. Replacement is necessary when the compressor fails due to wear or damage, typically after prolonged use under heavy load or contamination of the refrigerant system.
Replacing the compressor involves evacuating the refrigerant, disconnecting electrical connections (including the electromagnetic clutch), removing mounting bolts, and installing the new unit with the correct oil charge and proper belt alignment to avoid premature wear. Mechanic expertise or specialized equipment is recommended to handle refrigerant safely and ensure system sealing.
