A replacement clutch for the Nippondenso compressor is Audi P/N 034 260 811, but you may be able to find it cheaper through an A/C shop as Warner Electric P/N 819-0316 (also used for: Ford FS-6, Chrysler C-171, A-590, Nippondenso 6E171, 10P15, 6P148, 6C17, Tecumseh HR980). The parts fiche says you also need "attachment parts" (Audi P/N 034 298 012), but these are probably included with clutch, itself, so don't get this unless you know you need it.

I've found the part at the site listed below. I do realize that the bearing code is different than the one Igor listed (40BG05S1G-2DS) and that I pulled off of the seal on my bearing, but the dimensions matched on the site and when the bearing arrived, the same code Igor listed was on the grease seals.
