[power ranger]

A/C Compressor: 27,000 ? - Is this true

Thats a second hand Maruti cost incase, we need to replace.

Has anybody have an idea, how long this lasts on Safari ................ I need to sell it off befor the deadline

[nitrous]

Im sure a brand new safari AC compressor can be found for 1/2 or 1/3rd the cost mentioned in the list above.

[ibm_jennifer]

I am 100% sure, the SUBROS A/C Compressor(Model No. 10PA17C, TATA Part No: 2699 8340 01 09) cost you Rs. 27,477 where DELPHI A/C Compressor cost you Rs. 20,000

But you can buy a reconditioned/new A/C Compressor from TATA around 5k-10k on "EXCHANGE"

[ibm_jennifer]

But remember, the above price is TATA Price.

I can still help you to buy a BRAND NEW SUBROS A/C Compressor(Model No. 10PA17C, TATA Part No: 2699 8340 01 09) directly from SUBROS for Rs. 18,000.

And note that I too can help you buy a LOCAL Brand (new) 173cc TATA Safari Compressor for Rs. 9000
