While LKQ Euro Car Parts agrees that leaks are the main cause of overworked and overheated compressors, technicians should not forget other factors. These include driver abuse, such as towing excessive loads, or carrying too much weight. Insufficient airflow, caused perhaps by aftermarket modifications that include body kits, also impedes compressor cooling. Apart from faulty relays, an irregular power supply, loose connections and damaged wiring can also result in overheating.

If a compressor has been exposed to temperatures greater than 100 degrees Celsius, suspect damage. Visual signs of overheating include discoloured labels on the compressor body and melted plastic air lines and/or connectors. You may also detect a burning smell either near, or when dismounting/ dismantling the compressor. As failure tends to be caused by an air leak, it is vital that you address the underlying cause, otherwise, a replacement compressor will fail very soon afterwards.
