Hi, AC compressor has seized and lunched the serpentine belt. This is for a 96 e300 diesel; would anyone have one
 
Hi this used to happen when they were not very old - usually the Davia aftermarket system fitted by the dealers I think. The compressor will be different between factory a/c and Davia.
 
It's factory fitted, and had done 236k. The part number is 000 234 0611.

Having got the compressor off today I can see the clutch part at the front has gone off-centre so I guess the central spindle has bent perhaps.

I can see some on eBay now, mostly in Spain.

As a short term fix I have put the shorter 2080mm V belt on and hand cranked the engine. That was ok. I'll reattach the rad and refill with coolant tomorrow and then see how things go.
 
Does anyone know a UK company that rebuilds AC compressors?
