I’m having a look on eBay for compressors, it looks like it changes from 2000-2003 then 2004 to 2007. I’m assuming they are different? And I guess the 4L one doesn’t fit either?

AC not working 04 3.0

Ac not working. Sparky says the scanner said a fault with AUC sensor but when he put 12v direct to compressor, compressor didn’t engage. He bypassed the sensor so would it suggest bad compressor?...
