2007-2010 Suzuki SX4 2.0 L4 Gas Engine
Piston Replacement Compressor: 6512734
You may have noticed the gpd compressor for the 2007-2010 Suzuki SX4 2.0 L4 looks different from the OEM. We have improved the design to make it more reliable and reduce failure rates.
The original rotary vane design is prone to malfunction if not used. Over time, the vanes get stuck in the guides, which hinders the compressor from creating pressure. This issue results in complete compressor failure. Another common issue with a rotary vane compressors, is not priming before installation. By simply not rotating the clutch to ensure the oil has completely coated the vanes, the compressor can fail on the first run of your A/C.

When installing the redesigned compressor, only partially tighten the mounting bolts. Then attach your suction and discharge lines before finally tightening down all the bolts. This will help ensure the installation goes smoothly.
