Part Description
This OEM A/C air compressor was removed from a 2017 Volkswagen Jetta equipped with the 1.4L turbocharged engine (engine ID CZTA). The compressor has been thoroughly inspected by our technicians and is currently on the shelf ready to ship. This is a genuine Volkswagen factory part that maintains the original specifications and performance characteristics.
The A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pressurizing and circulating refrigerant through the cooling circuit. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 2017 VW Jetta A/C compressor fit my vehicle?
This compressor fits 2015-2018 Volkswagen Jetta models with the 1.4L turbocharged engine (CZTA). Verify your engine code to ensure proper fitment, as different engines use different compressor designs.
What causes A/C compressors to fail in Volkswagen vehicles?
Common failure modes include internal bearing wear, clutch coil burnout, and refrigerant leaks from worn seals. Contamination from other failed A/C components can also damage the compressor internally.
Do I need to replace other A/C components with the compressor?
It’s recommended to replace the receiver/drier and expansion valve when installing a used compressor. The system should also be flushed to remove any contamination that may have caused the original failure.
How much refrigerant oil should I add to this compressor?
The exact oil quantity depends on what was removed from your old compressor. Typically 3-6 ounces of PAG oil is required, but measure what comes out of your old unit for best results.
What tools are needed to replace a VW Jetta A/C compressor?
You’ll need A/C recovery equipment, basic hand tools, a torque wrench, and access to refrigerant for recharging. Professional A/C service equipment is recommended for proper evacuation and recharge procedures.
How do I verify this compressor’s condition before installation?
Check that the clutch engages when 12V is applied to the coil, the pulley spins freely, and there are no visible oil leaks or damage. The compressor should have been stored with sealed ports to prevent contamination.
