2014 Foucs Aircon Issue

Hi there.

My partner has a 1.6TDCI 2014 Focus and all was well till the aircon stopped producing cold air.

The system has gas and has no leaks, this was tested by a local garage. The issue is that the clutch isn't engaging on the compressor, so I started to look at electrical faults. The relay is fine, the fuse is fine, if I bridge the connections on the relay, the clutch still won't engage. Removing the undertray and the electrical connector for the clutch, I measured 10.4v coming through, the same reading as I got at the relay. With the engine switched off, the same meter read 12.6v on the battery. Everything else on the car works, there aren't any other electrical issues.

My questions are:

  • Is 10.4v enough to engage the clutch?
  • Can the clutch be replaced separately?
  • The part number of the compressor is CV61-19D629-EA, do I have to replace the compressor with an identical part number, or will other variants be okay?

The car itself has only done 76,000 miles, which seems low to me anyway, to suffer aircon issues such as this?

Any help /advice given will be gratefully received.
