One thing to check, or to ask your mechanic to check, is the spacers in the ac clutch. As the clutch wears, it creates too much space and the electromagnetic clutch can’t pull the plate to engage. Very common on Subarus. There are a ton of videos on YouTube for this. Fixed my daughters ac in her 2014 Subaru Impreza.

Can the ac compressor still be working and it effect the ac condenser? I have a 2014 Subaru Forester. There has been a technical bulletin issued for the compressor. The ac isn’t working. It was checked. A little Freon loaded cool air was coming out of ac. Mechanic said it was the condenser. Could the faulty compressor cause trouble in the condenser, thanks for your help

Wholly confusing..my Vin for my 2015 xv crosstrek limited with eyesight G*273674 indicated i have the new compressor model..
as it’s stated that at G*212351 and above is new compressor- correct.?!
Assuming so then,
my compressor model number is 73111FJ040
with serial number of 50409******.
Indicating manf date of 2015-April-09 !..
So reading along with the TSB provided above it indicates if# is 50930****** or before Replace the A/C compressor assembly !! ..

So my perplixion is this..
How could my VIN indicate that my vehicle has the New Compressor initially..
(according to the numbers given, I’m well into the new model installed G*212351 -> mine is G*273674)
Yet the serial number indicates to REPLACE the unit as it is before — 50930
again my serial is — 50409 ..

Also according to the TSB it states if under warranty blaa blaa mine is not-.. yet i missed it by what .? 5 months ?
Every time I’ve had my vehicle in dealer only inspection/maintenance/repair like clock work and documented .. never once was there any word about checking to see if replacement need on a known issue for 2015 XV Crosstrek models concerning the A/C compressor FAILURE and REPLACEMENT ISSUE…
Until after this last winter of 2018 i turned on my A/C to blowing only warm air…
I’m so damn pissed at the moment i will stop writing and Hope for some response asap ..
Am going to copy and paste all that I’ve written here and email Subaru directly over this issue and Pray i as well recieve some sort of good will gesture — unless bigger hidden issues remain for me to suddnly discover, as id rather eat the cost of this now and seek relief in future.. *** son of a Fuji .. rrrr

I need to replace an air conditioner compressor clutch on a 2014 Impreza Sport, but have only found that the entire AC compressor must be purchased. Does anyone know where I can purchase just the clutch?

Called Subaru to find out more about this since our Crosstrek is having A/C issues. Subaru claims this is fake. They have no such bulletin on file. WTF?
