2005 S-Type - AC Compressor
Howdy!
New to Jaguar and bought a 2005 for my daughter. The AC Compressor is shot and needs replaced. I see looking around there are a couple different types. Is there a way to tell which one I need without removing it?
I don't want to remove it, order a new one and wait. I also don't want to have to remove it, reinstall it and then do it again with a new one haha.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
A bit more info on the car and the actual problem with the compressor (if known) will help you receive more replies.
V6 or V8? Two different types of compressor for both.
Also dryer sack will need changing and likely several of the O rings plus fresh oil etc etc.
Doing it yourself?
Plenty of posts on the AC on here.
Like most cars, if compressor has seized and damage has caused debris to enter the system to the expansion valve then its an expensive dash out process etc etc.
Any AC history of the car?

It's a 2005 so the same year as Ricks.
Here's his picture showing the difference between the V6 and V8.

Thanks guys heres the new scoop.
The remanufactured compressor is wrong part, although it is listed as a 2005 Jaguar S Stype replacement AND Lincoln LS. I could make it work but for $165.00 (2nd day air included), we will wait for a replacement. I could use 1/2" spacers to make the reman work.
The good news is that it took longer to drop the belly pan than it did to drop the compressor. I spent 1/2 hour from jacking up the car to having compressor on work bench!
Ok I see I did not explain the difference in the 2 compressors below. In the yellow rectangle the bolt guides are about 4" long for the 3.0 litre engines. The red rectangle is for the V8 engines with the bolt guides at 3 1/2" long.
