Application and Buying Notes

Check the compressor against part number CXZ078 first, then compare the mounting style, pulley section, and clutch size. This unit is a 12V direct mount compressor with a 6 groove pulley and 132mm clutch diameter, so those details need to match the vehicle setup before purchase.

The listed fitment points to Volvo S60 2.3L and 2.4L models from 01/2000 to 12/2009, plus Volvo V70 2.4L models from 08/1997 to 04/2004. The product also notes it suits Zexel units, which is another useful check when comparing the old compressor to the replacement.

Oil information matters with air conditioning compressors. This unit is noted with ZXL100PG oil type and 180ml oil capacity, so it should only be matched where those details align with the system requirements or the replacement procedure being followed.

Because compressor layouts can vary even within the same model range, it is sensible to confirm the existing compressor label, connector arrangement, and mounting pattern before ordering. The warranty listed is one year, but warranty cover does not replace the need to confirm application and installation suitability.

At 7.76kg, this is a substantial component and should be handled carefully during comparison and installation. The absence of a dust cover is also noted, which may matter if the replacement is being fitted into a system with exposed ports or if the old unit is being used as a reference.

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 CXZ078 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.
