Hi guys,

I've just had my Octy back from having it's air con looked at. The fault was traced to a "missing compressor clutch cover" Could this be a repairable issue, or is the car doomed to having a new compressor fitted?

If it's a new compressor, what sort of "ball park" figure would be reasonable to expect for parts/labour to replace it?

You can buy just the clutch and pulley. Needs to be shimmed correctly so doesn't drag or slip.

Sound's hopeful! I don't suppose you've got a part number or suitable supplier do you?

If it turns out its not repairable, I got a compressor for mine from Germany, cost less than half of what Skoda wanted
