Part Description
This Grade A A/C air compressor was removed from a 2011 MINI Countryman with the 1.6L engine and only 93,000 miles. The compressor has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is confirmed to be in excellent working condition. It is currently on the shelf and ready to ship immediately.
The A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pressurizing and circulating refrigerant to provide cool air. Common reasons for replacement include internal bearing failure, clutch problems, refrigerant leaks from worn seals, or electrical issues with the clutch coil. When your A/C stops blowing cold air or makes grinding noises, the compressor is often the culprit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this A/C compressor fit my 2011 MINI Countryman?
Yes, this compressor is specifically from a 2011 MINI Countryman with 1.6L engine. However, we recommend verifying your engine code to ensure proper fitment since MINI used different compressor configurations.
What is interchange number 50325 and why is it important?
Interchange #50325 is an industry-standard reference number that identifies this compressor across multiple vehicle applications. It helps ensure you’re getting the correct part and allows cross-referencing with other compatible vehicles.
Do I need to add oil when installing this used A/C compressor?
Yes, you should drain and measure the oil from your old compressor and add the same amount of fresh PAG oil to this unit. Most installations require 3-8 ounces depending on your system specifications.
Why choose a used A/C compressor over a remanufactured one?
This Grade A used compressor from a low-mileage vehicle offers OEM quality at significant savings. Unlike remanufactured units with mixed-quality internal components, this original equipment part has proven reliability.
What causes A/C compressors to fail in MINI vehicles?
Common failure modes include clutch bearing wear, internal valve damage from contaminated refrigerant, and electrical issues with the clutch coil. Regular A/C system maintenance helps prevent premature compressor failure.
Can I install this A/C compressor myself?
A/C compressor replacement requires refrigerant recovery, system evacuation, and recharging which needs specialized equipment and EPA certification. Professional installation is strongly recommended for proper operation and warranty coverage.
