I talked to the dealership last week and they were happy to confirm that I needed the compressor that the EPC showed as a A0002302411 and that used to be a A0031319501. They were also happy to sell me remanufactured one for a ridiculous price. What they were not sure of was what model of Denso the compressor was. They were not sure if it was a 10P15C or a 10PA15C and apparently they are not interchangeable. They were not too interested in helping me find out the Denso model so I could go buy it somewhere else and not pay them for the part or the installation.
