Part Description
This Grade A A/C air compressor was removed from a 2015 Volkswagen Golf hatchback with a 1.8L gasoline engine and only 77,000 miles. The compressor has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is currently on the shelf ready to ship. This OEM part maintains the original factory specifications and quality.
The A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pressurizing and circulating refrigerant throughout the system. 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.
