Detailed Description

Nissens 101098 is an A/C compressor kit engineered for vehicles using R134A refrigerant and PAG 46 oil. The PXV16 compressor design, five-groove pulley, and included clutch and pulley make it a direct service part for air conditioning repair on Saab 9-3 and Saab 9-3X models. If you are replacing a worn compressor on a Saab 9-3 or Saab 9-3X, this part number 101098 provides the core components needed for the system repair.

Nissens develops thermal and engine efficiency components for the aftermarket, and this product reflects that focus with a complete compressor configuration rather than a bare compressor body. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 1854113, 1854156) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring cooling performance when the compressor is no longer building pressure.
• Replacing a noisy or seized A/C compressor assembly.
• Addressing clutch engagement problems in the air conditioning system.
• Repairing refrigerant loss related to worn compressor seals or O-rings.
• Servicing a serpentine-belt-driven A/C system on Saab 9-3 and Saab 9-3X vehicles.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify refrigerant type, oil specification, pulley groove count, and compressor type before installation. Flush the system as needed, replace the receiver/drier or accumulator when required by the repair procedure, and confirm correct oil charge for the application. Always check belt alignment and system pressures after installation.
