Part Description
This OEM A/C air compressor was removed from a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta sedan equipped with a 2.0L gasoline engine (engine ID CBPA). The compressor has been thoroughly inspected by our technicians and is currently on the shelf ready for immediate shipment. This is a genuine Volkswagen factory part that maintains original equipment specifications and fitment.
The A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pressurizing and circulating refrigerant throughout the system to provide cool air. Common reasons for replacement include internal bearing failure, clutch problems, refrigerant leaks from worn seals, or electrical issues with the clutch coil. When your A/C stops blowing cold air or makes grinding noises, the compressor is often the culprit requiring replacement.
