    The quality of New and Reman A6 compressors seems to be all over the map these days. I've started replacing them with the Sanden based Pro6Ten compressor. It's a direct, bolt in swap and they work very well.

    When I do purchase a New A6, I usually order from Arizona Mobile Air:

    Good prices, quality parts and excellent customer service. They also sponsor a very DIY friendly discussion forum for Automotive AC repair.

    For the Pro6Ten, I usually order from Old Air Products:

    The Pro6Ten used to cost more than a New A6, but in getting the links for this post I see that it is now a bit less pricy than the A6. Rebuilts are less, but I've had many shaft seal issues with reman A6's.

    Hope this helps.
