feedback for 2017+ models, ac compressor
not sure if this is the right place but I'd like to hear from those who's had issues with their air conditioning on a 2017+ subaru model. I have a 2017 model and the ac compressor seized @ approximately 45k. Yes I know I'm out of warranty but theres a known issue with the same exact problem for the 2015-2016 subaru's and want to see if they really fixed it.
subaru released a bulletin to replace the ac compressors ( see below). https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...40504-9999.pdf Your feedback is appreciated and hopefully if its a wide spread issue they will revise it.

I have a 2015 WRX that came with the VA000 compressor. Around 50k miles the compressor clutch started to fail. It would engage intermittently and as time went on it would work less and less frequently. Not a fun way to spend last summer.
I found a used VA001 compressor (the successor part) off a 2018 WRX. Threw it in, charged the system and haven’t had a problem since. |
