Denso 471-6043 A/C Compressor Overview

The Denso 471-6043 is a factory-new A/C compressor built for OE-level fit and performance. It is specified for select Kia Sorento applications and uses R134A refrigerant with a serpentine belt pulley and bolt tangent mounting style.

For 2011 Kia Sorento and 2012 Kia Sorento built before 01/01/2012, this compressor supports direct replacement service when the original unit has failed or is no longer maintaining proper system pressure.

Key Features

  • Part number: 471-6043
  • Refrigerant type: R134A
  • Clutch maximum diameter: 120.0 mm
  • Serpentine pulley belt type for belt-driven HVAC systems
  • Bolt tangent mounting type for OE-style installation geometry
  • Built by Denso, an OE supplier of air conditioning compressors

Detailed Product Description

Denso designs and manufactures this A/C compressor to meet original equipment standards for fit, function, and system compatibility. As an OE supplier, Denso builds compressors with the same engineering approach used for factory-installed HVAC components, which helps maintain proper refrigerant circulation and cabin cooling performance. The 471-6043 is a direct-fit choice for Kia Sorento models listed in the fitment data, including 2011 Kia Sorento and 2012 Kia Sorento through 01/01/2012.

This part cross-references Kia 977011U250 for the same application.

What This Compressor Helps Address

  • Loss of cabin cooling from a worn or seized compressor
  • Low system pressure caused by internal compressor wear
  • Noisy compressor operation from damaged internal components
  • Inconsistent A/C performance in Kia Sorento HVAC systems
  • Replacement needs after compressor failure on R134A systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify refrigerant type, pulley alignment, and mounting style before installation. This compressor is specified for R134A systems with a serpentine belt drive and bolt tangent mounting, so matching the original HVAC configuration is important for proper fitment. For 2012 Kia Sorento applications, confirm the vehicle build date is on or before 01/01/2012.

Quality Assurance

Denso manufactures this compressor to strict OE standards and tests it as a factory-new component. Because Denso is an original equipment supplier, the 471-6043 reflects the engineering and fitment requirements used by major vehicle manufacturers.
