My Mechanic has suggested not repairing my air con compressor clutch plate as it will fail again.He has suggested replacing it with a brand new unit.....any thoughts?

Cable tie or bread bag clip repair, look it up.
The man is crazy.

@Philia_Bear? Seen this before?
Used one replacement?
Philia_Bear
New compressor and new clutch are same cost at this point
That said
Want to take a video of it nd post it up?

Volvo mechanic said any used one will fail as well given time.....suggested aftermarket brand.
Ex850R
What brand, how much, link?
elvis35
He didnt mention brand....I thought I would ask for any suggestions here first.....Later model volvo for example or aftermarket ?

TO me, my P80s would nver warrant being worthy of a brand new A/C compressor unless i knew it was a car worth it for the long haul , which was my first one,which got run into and ruined...
I dont think a used one is an issue at all.

Best place to purchase a used one?

If your mechanic is doing the install... let him source the part...
There is near no difference between aftermarket and genuine other than cost...
Letting him source the part means he is up for $$$ if it goes wrong instead of you
