Delphi’s ever growing portfolio of high quality vehicle sensors are backed by stringent OE development and product validation methods. We offer a wide range of sensors, including ABS, camshaft, crankshaft, knock, EGT, MAP, temperature, throttle position, and vehicle speed sensors for a variety of vehicle applications. All of our sensors are tested and calibrated to OE standards, ensuring accurate readings, which helps to reduce comebacks.

Product Features:

• Delphi sensors are built to meet or exceed OE requirements and testing
• Delphi has improved the OE design by plating the connectors to help prevent corrosion and failure commonly caused by internal and cable short circuits
• Delphi’s OE design helps by preventing mechanical damage to the sensor wheel, soiling and increased wheel bearing free play
• Speed sensors maintain optimal performance during drastic temperature changes for robust, long-lasting sensor protection
• Designed digital output for maximum signal to noise ratio

Carquest Accumulators and Receiver Driers are designed to store, filter and dry the air conditioning refrigerant to provide proper performance and durability for the air conditioning system. They are manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications.

Product Features:

• All parts meet or exceed original equipment standards for moisture absorption, pressure and temperature resistance, air tightness, vibration resistance, corrosiveness, and pulse pressure.
• Desiccant is 100% tested and assembled in a controlled environment to ensure performance meets or exceeds original equipment standards.
• All accumulators and receiver driers are helium leak tested prior to packaging.
• O-Rings necessary for installation are included.

The Carquest condenser is an integral component of the motor vehicle air conditioning system. This part condenses the refrigerant into a liquid to prepare it for entry into the compressor. The condenser is manufactured according to OEM design specifications to ensure a long life with quality performance. Exact design standards produce a seamless fit into the engine compartment.

Product Features:

• This is a parallel flow condenser that contains small micro-channels. It is highly recommended that this condenser be replaced if a failure has occurred in the vehicle’s air conditioning system that has resulted in debris contaminating the system.
• The Carquest condenser production process includes quality driven details such as using zinc-coated tubes and electrostatic paint spray at high temperatures to provide the best corrosion resistance and durability in our condensers.
• Continuous molds, laser welding machines, semi-automatic assembly stations and other advanced equipment provide quality products.
• Each condenser uses only the highest quality raw materials including pure aluminum (not substandard or recycled) to provide the highest quality standards from beginning to finished product.
• All brackets are designed per OEM specifications to ensure strength and reduce vibration and movement.
• We leak test 100% of our condensers in helium leak test chambers to ensure the product does not leak.
• Our condensers are manufactured from rigid design standards to fit OEM dimensions.
• Each condenser design endures a series of tests that includes performance testing, vibration testing, blast testing, and salt spray testing to simulate real world conditions.
• Each Carquest condenser is packaged using superior box construction. This box is easy to open and seal. Each condenser is packaged in the box with internal protection to keep the part centered and away from the package edges.
