The 10p17c compressor was used by numerous manufacturers. Before MB and Denso came out with a rebuilt we used to use an Acura version that was sold without clutch. When MBs only alternative wa s new $1000+ unit the Acura unit at less than $400 new w/o clutch was a great alternative. I hate rebuilt and have only used MB and Denso rebuilt.
