Description from the creator

My Ford Mondeo MK4 AC stopped working (didn't push cold air). The AC compressor was quickly diagnosed to miss the AC compressor clutch hub (also called a clutch plate).

The AC compressor will not engage without the clutch hub since the clutch coil which is inside the pulley can't pull the hub which would turn the ac compressor shaft.

The clutch hub is fixed with one M6 bolt to the ac compressor shaft.
In some cases, the bolt gets loose and falls off leading to the clutch hub falling off.

The local car ac repair shop offered to fix the ac for 635€ of which the new clutch assembly would have cost 415€ (from the Ford dealership) and the installation work 220€.

A new ac compressor could be found for 200-300€ so the clutch assembly was way overpriced. Anyhow, I didn't even need the whole clutch assembly but rather just the clutch hub which costs far less and is also easier to install. The problem was that the local stores don't carry just the clutch hub so I had to order online.

I paid under 50€ for the clutch hub with shipping and a few M6 bolts and shims. I bought a few different lengths of bolts 16mm, 20mm, and 25mm. I think I ended up using the 16 or 20mm long M6 bolt. M6 bolts and regular washers cost around 10€/kg (so mine cost 0,3€ in total) and for 0,1mm shims I paid 0,2€ per piece.

The local hardware store sold M6 bolts and regular washers. For the really thin shims, I went to a local store selling bearings nomogroup.fi/.
