Key Features

• Preboxed compressor kit for HVAC A/C clutch and compressor service
• Includes compressor, accumulator/filter drier, expansion device, and a rapid seal kit unless otherwise noted

Detailed Description

Global Parts 9612188PB is part of the Preboxed Compressor Kit line, which groups the core A/C service parts into one package for the listed vehicles. This kit is intended for 1986-1987 Buick Skyhawk, 1989-1991 Buick Skylark, 1989-1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, 1988-1989 Pontiac Sunbird, 1991 Pontiac Sunbird, and 1990-1991 Pontiac Grand Am with V5 compressor applications. If you are replacing a worn compressor on a Buick Skylark, Pontiac Grand Am, or Pontiac Sunbird, this kit provides the matched HVAC components needed for the repair.

The Preboxed Compressor Kit product line is organized around vehicle-specific coverage, so the included parts are selected for the listed application rather than sold as a universal kit. That makes 9612188PB a practical choice when servicing GM A/C systems that require coordinated replacement of the compressor and related refrigerant control components.

Common Repair Uses

• Restoring cooling performance after compressor failure
• Replacing a noisy or seized A/C compressor
• Addressing contamination in the air conditioning system
• Correcting poor refrigerant flow or pressure control
• Refreshing aging HVAC service components during A/C repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify the vehicle’s V5 compressor configuration and match the year, make, and model exactly to the fitment list. Replace related system components as a set when the old compressor has failed, and follow standard evacuation, flushing, and recharge procedures for the vehicle’s HVAC system. Confirm all seals and connections are clean before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts states that its compressor kits are application specific and packaged to provide the components needed to complete the job correctly the first time. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
