I'd just get one from Mark, there's so much confusion from non-928 vendors about what fits what year with which clutch and which pulley. Google '928 porsche 6E171 compressor"' and look at what years various parts places quote as needing a 6E171. Most of them get it wrong.

Is there a way to test the clutch and or compressor? The compressor belt was off when I bought my 79 and PO had no history for the short time he had it. I have since pulled the compressor and have it in the garage. I also got a spare part box with the car that has another compressor that I also have no history on other than it is much cleaner than the one on the car.

Hi Duc,
I bought a AC Compressor for my '88 from http://www.techchoiceparts.com/
The rebuilt compressor was $224 (no exchange required) and a new reciever/dryer was $15
Had it all installed and recharged, everything works great.
They do the rebuilds inhouse, so you might want to call them and see what they can do for you.

Duc--
There is no 'rubber part' of the clutch. There is a friction surface that gets pulled into a flat metal face by the magnetic coil. Usually, if you see something that looks like rubber, it's melted insulaton from the clutch coil itself.
