AC compressor

[Szabotage]

Hi
Does anyone happen to know whether the photo below of an AC compressor was the original part for the Phase 1 or whether it might have been replaced in the past? I am of the understanding that some parts were sourced from PSA to build the Vee but would anyone recall if they have seen this compressor in a Phase 1 or Phase 2? I have a feeling it should be from Valeo but would anyone be able to confirm? Thanks!

This is the compressor on a 3 litre Avantime...so not a Valeo

Thanks! Very helpful with the photo. So the compressor should be Sanden (not Valeo).

No. You assumed that a Renault V6 AC compressor would be a Valeo. I'm just advising that on an Avantime V6 (a very similar engine) the AC compressor is NOT a Valeo. I have no idea if the Clio V6 AC compressor is a Sanden...but I'm sure there is somone on here who can clarify that.
By the way,...... I notice that the V6 Ph2 compressor advertised on ebay currently is a Sanden

Info I found for PH1 and PH2 AC unit
