Peugeot 206 - Identify correct Compresor for my vehicle - kurto1

I need a new AC compressor for my vehicle. It is not registered in UK/EU so I can't do a registration look-up which all the car parts websites want to identify your vehicle.

I think I have a good handle on the specifc model, and can provide a VIN if required, but is there a good way to make absolutley sure I am purchasing a compatible part before going ahead?

Thanks all for your help!

Look at the label on the compressor .Very likely to be a Sanden or Delphi make.

thats correct, if you can get a good look at it from all angles theres probably a sticker with an OE part number.. but to be honust if your buying cheap from internet or 2nd hand, do so at your peril, don't know the returns policy? and if even its fits and works .. it may not for long, find a good motor factors in your area, go see them and if its wrong they will refund or get the right part for you!!

Thanks - i'll see if i can get a look at it.

The situation i have is that I am currently in an offshore location and the cost for the local mechanic to source the part through Peugeot is exceptionally high.

So i was hoping to buy it in UK and bring it back myself. I'm not trying to do this on the cheap - happy to pay for a good quality new replacement, but i dont think it should cost in the equivalent or around 1200 quid!

I'd buy one from a salvage company that specialise in Pugs, That is what I did with the Astra when the pump failed. I think it cost me about £100 including fitting and regassing for a pump off a 37,000mile car.

If you give me the last 8 digits of your VIN I can get the part numbers for you on Peugeot's parts database.
