Used Nissan Juke AC Compressor

The Nissan Juke ran as a single generation from 2010 to 2019, with a facelift arriving in 2014, so a 2013 and a 2015 car sit either side of that facelift boundary. Engine code is the primary fitment factor here, so if both cars share the same engine code — for example both being the 1.6 petrol (HR16DE) or both the 1.6 DiG-T turbo (MR16DDT) — there is a reasonable chance the compressor will carry across, but ancillary bracket and mounting changes can occur mid-production without a formal model change. Confirm compatibility with the breaker against both registration numbers before buying.

Trim level — whether Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, or Nismo RS — does not determine which AC compressor is fitted; that is decided by engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type. The Nismo RS uses the same MR16DDT 1.6 DiG-T engine found in other high-spec Jukes, so the compressor is sourced the same way as any other car carrying that code. You may find cosmetic differences on parts surrounding the compressor depending on trim, but the compressor unit itself follows the engine, not the badge.

No — petrol and diesel Jukes use entirely different engines, and the AC compressor is matched to the engine it is driven by, so a compressor from a 1.5 dCi diesel (K9K engine) will not be a straight swap for one from a 1.6 petrol or 1.6 DiG-T. Always tell the breaker your fuel type and engine code, which you can find on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check, to make sure they are quoting the correct unit.

For the compressor itself, gearbox type is generally less critical than engine code and fuel type, but it is still worth telling the breaker whether your car is manual or CVT automatic because drive belt routing and ancillary bracket configurations can vary between the two. Supply your registration or engine code alongside your gearbox type so the breaker can cross-reference their stock accurately and confirm the unit they hold is a direct match.

The Juke facelift arrived in 2014, and while the engine codes available largely carried over across that boundary, there can be detail changes to ancillary mountings and drive belt arrangements that are not always obvious from the engine code alone. Name both registration numbers to the breaker and ask them to verify the compressor mounting points and belt configuration match before you commit, as this is exactly the kind of mid-generation change they will be best placed to spot.

The most useful things to provide are your engine code (found on the V5 or a VIN check), fuel type, year of manufacture, and whether the car is manual or automatic — the engine code above all else is what breakers use to match mechanical parts like compressors. Your registration number lets a good breaker run their own checks, so always supply that too. Trim name is not needed for this part, but it does no harm to mention it.
