The AC Compressor in the Ferrari F430 is known to fail fairly frequently. The good news is that it’s not very difficult to replace and can be done at home with fairly simple tools. You will need to get an AC gauge kit, along with vacuum pump, scale, and R134a refrigerant. The AC compressor runs from about $200-500 depending where you get it. You can also send out the AC compressor to have it rebuilt. Replacing a failed AC compressor can be done in only a few hours and save you many thousands of dollars VS taking it to a dealership.
