Ive had to buy a new car, same year and model. But my old car had a new compressor and condenser fitted a year ago. Is it worth swapping it with the ones on the new car? Cant see any work for the new car regarding these components?
Thoughts please. How easy would it be to swap. I know the gas has to be removed properly...

Any know what sort of life span a compressor has?

The modern constant drive modulated delivery compressors like yours are woefully unreliable, I diagnosed three as faulty this week, one was only replaced three years ago and another was on a four year old Golf 7.

Ok thanks for the update. Probably not worth it then? Just wait and see how long it lasts.
Cheers- as always....
