Will any York Comprssor work on any Porsche?
The answer is certainly a definite NO. There are 6 different Yorks used on various Porsches and these really should not be interchanged. For instance most add-on units were smart enough to use a 6 cu. in. York. DPD used a 6 in. Mini-York. VPC used a full size 6 in. York and the Factory from 1971 through ’83 used a Monster 10 cu. in. York. A lot of factory a/c in domestic car will also use 10 in comp. but the problem that we see is when someone takes their Porsche to a shop and the replace a 6 in. with a 10 in. and then the clutch and/or the belt won’t hold. Make sure that you get the same size compressor that you had in the first place. Of course a 6 in. pump will work just fine on a Factory system.
