Detailed Product Overview

Nissens part number 890896 is an A/C compressor engineered for consistent pumping performance, low noise, and reduced vibration. The compressor uses a piston design with a 6-groove serpentine pulley, 12-volt clutch operation, and a 4.88-inch outside pulley diameter. It is filled with shipping oil only and must be drained and refilled with the correct PAG 46 oil before installation. This compressor cross-references Valeo 815746 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Noisy compressor operation from worn internal components
• Loss of refrigerant pressure in the A/C system
• Compressor clutch engagement problems
• Vibration or belt-drive issues related to compressor wear

Installation Notes

Fits 2012-2017 Hyundai Accent and 2012-2017 Kia Rio. Confirm refrigerant type, oil specification, and belt alignment before installation. Drain the shipping oil and refill with the correct PAG 46 oil to the required system amount. Replace the included O-rings during service and verify the A/C system is clean and properly evacuated before charging.
