Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number 716686 and OEM number Z0003904C against the compressor currently fitted to the vehicle. The listed application is Nissan X-Trail T31 2.5L from 10/2007 to 12/2013, but the control setup still needs to match, because this compressor is described as externally variable with an electronic control valve and twin harness plugs.

The mounting style is direct mount with a pad fitting type, so the physical mounting arrangement and pipe connection style should be checked on the vehicle before purchase. The pulley is a 6 groove design and the clutch diameter is 122mm, which are useful identifiers when confirming the replacement unit against the original compressor.

The note also states that for internal mechanical control valve use, CXZ124 with a single harness plug is the relevant alternative. That means the control valve style and harness configuration are not minor details; they are part of the compatibility check and should be confirmed against the vehicle and the removed compressor before a purchase is finalised.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 716686 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For part number 716686, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a air conditioning compressor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include NISSAN X-TRAIL, NISSAN X-TRAIL 2007, NISSAN X-TRAIL 2008, NISSAN X-TRAIL 2009. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment using part number 716686, OEM number Z0003904C, the DCS17EC series details, and the listed Nissan X-Trail T31 2.5L application before ordering. Check the mounting style, pulley configuration, harness plug arrangement, and control valve type on the vehicle to avoid a mismatch.
