BDFHYK 1135238 A/C Compressor with Clutch For Buick LeSabre, Park Avenue 1996-2005, Riviera 1996-1999, Oldsmobile 88 LSS 1996-1999, Regency 1997-1998

BDFHYK 1135238 Car AC Compressor with Clutch for Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile 3.8L

If your older Buick LeSabre, Park Avenue, Riviera, Pontiac Bonneville, Oldsmobile 88, LSS, Regency, or 98 still runs well but the A/C blows warm air, the compressor should be checked as part of the diagnosis. The BDFHYK 1135238 car ac compressor with clutch is for selected GM 3.8L V6 applications from the 1996-2005 range. It is worth considering after diagnosis when the vehicle has warm air, weak cooling at idle, intermittent cooling, compressor-area noise, clutch not engaging, or oil / refrigerant traces near the compressor.

Why This GM 3.8L Compressor Fits the Buyer Need

• For older GM sedan owners: useful when the vehicle is being kept on the road and cabin cooling still matters.
• A/C compressor with clutch: suitable when the compressor and clutch assembly are being replaced together.
• 3.8L V6 application focus: covers selected Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile models, but the original compressor must still be compared.
• Pre-purchase clarity: compare OE numbers, compressor body, clutch setup, pulley area, ports, connector area, and mounting points before service work.

Fitment and OE Numbers to Confirm

• Buick: LeSabre V6 3.8L 1996-2005, Park Avenue V6 3.8L 1996-2005, Riviera V6 3.8L 1996-1999.
• Pontiac: Bonneville V6 3.8L 1996-2005.
• Oldsmobile: 88 V6 3.8L 1996-1999, LSS V6 3.8L 1996-1999, Regency V6 3.8L 1997-1998, 98 V6 3.8L 1996.
• OE / interchange references: 1135238, 1135242, 1135281, 1135282, 1135423, 89018799, 89018865, 89018897, 58994, 57994.
• Physical match: compare the original compressor housing, clutch face, pulley area, mounting ears, refrigerant ports, and electrical connector.

Common 3.8L GM A/C Problems This Part Is Considered For

• Warm air from vents: may involve compressor wear, refrigerant loss, pressure control issues, or electrical faults.
• Weak cooling at idle: may involve compressor output, condenser airflow, fan operation, refrigerant charge, or restriction.
• Clutch not engaging: may involve the clutch coil, fuse, relay, low-pressure condition, or compressor failure.
• Compressor-area noise: may come from clutch wear, pulley bearing wear, belt drive issues, or internal compressor damage.

A new auto ac compressor can only help when the compressor or clutch assembly is the confirmed failed part. Diagnose leaks, refrigerant charge, airflow, belt condition, and electrical controls before purchase.

Before You Order

• Confirm exact model, year, 3.8L V6 engine, OE number, and original compressor layout.
• Ask the installer whether condenser, receiver drier / accumulator, expansion device, hoses, pressure controls, or system flushing should be handled at the same time.
• This is an OE-style aftermarket replacement, not a Genuine OEM or Official OEM part.
