AC Compressor Control Solenoid Valve Compatible with Volkswagen, Audi models with Sanden PXE16 PXE14 1K0820803E - VW GTI, Golf, Passat, Tiguan, Jetta TDI, A3 - Compressor Pressure Valve

The valves I have done come from a variety of The one you have here is garbage. This valve was installed after the AC had been cold for ten minutes before it turned hot again For it to be that way, you'll have to drive at high revs for 15 minutes. In the case of the suction (low) side, after you install the valve the pressure increases at a relatively high rate (80+) after only a few ounces of Freon and won't This valve might not be actuating, so the compressor won't be able to suck Freon into the low side port. I'm going to reinstall the old valve until I find a replacement that won't malfunction. * Update * In order to refill with R134, I reinstalled the *old* valve, vacated and refilled with o2 gas. I am back to cold air since I refilled the system with Freon no problem. I am going to return the valve I purchased here since it is clearly defective.

During the daytime, it took a little while for the air conditioner to kick on, as other people had reported when the valve was stuck in the on position. My system was drained and the part was replaced on my own. For installation, the splash shield is the only thing that needs to be removed. Jack up the front end (use jack stands to prevent injury), remove the splash shield, disconnect the electrical plug, remove the snap ring and employ a large screwdriver to pry out the old valve. Any PAG oil that leaks from the compressor will be less likely to leak out as the front end is lifted more. If you put in a new o-ring, lube it first To preserve and help seal the rings, rub some pag oil on It would be a good idea to wear safety glasses and a mask. As long as there is still pressure in the system, you do not want any PAG oil on your face.

There was a problem with not only the valve itself, but the outer O-ring as well That was the case with the ring. A cheap manufacturing process combined with an abject quality control system always makes a perfect combination. PolarBear Inc. offers a quality solenoid that will save you time and money. The state of Florida is located in. The chances of you wasting $20 on refrigerant, and $60 or more if you don't, are still considerable even if you own your own manifold gauge set and vacuum pump. It is always wise to keep your pants on, don't doodoo them The best parts should be purchased.

A re-start of the compressor may be needed if your vehicle is having trouble turning on the air conditioner. My old solenoid could be removed by lifting one side of the car up on a jack stand that should be used for tires, at that point I opened my snap ring and pryed it Due to the fact that nobody before me had done it this way, I had to learn a lot and gradually progress. The old freon was recovered before I applied the new freon, and I vaccuumed the AC lines afterwards to ensure it was ready for the new freon. If you give an Autozone a security deposit, they will lend you a vacuum pump for free. When putting this solenoid in, don't be frightened to push hard or else you won't be able to get the snap ring to fit.

Don't go near him! What a waste of time and energy. The old one was taken out, and this one was put The entire process must be completed after a properly evacuated system and proper precautions are taken during installation. When I began charging the system, I discovered that the item had started leaking. I had r134a coming out of the new garbage solenoid as soon as I began charging the system. Sending this item back for a refund. It would be a waste of time and money to use a Follow the reviews of others. Here I am, without an air conditioner and waiting many days longer for it to be fixed because I ignored what the bad reviews said. In the mean time, I ripped out the old one and replaced it again. Oh, and the old one doesn't leak anymore. At least it doesn't leak! Even though it works inefficiently, at least it doesn't.

The air conditioner on my 2014 Passat was not working properly. The air conditioner would not kick in sometimes, especially if the vehicle was parked for most of the day. The compressor in my car is failing and needs to be replaced at a cost of $1000, according to multiple places I visited. We had to exhaust the system, vacuum, and recharge several times in order to replace parts. It is 600 g/21 oz of refrigerant and 2 oz of Please keep in mind that you need to loosen the compressor to remove the C clip. In the past few weeks the air conditioner has kicked in every time and radiators/cooling fans have gone to modulation rather than full blast when the system Whenever there are any changes, I'll post an update.

I've found the quality to be good. I have updated Activated it and got it up and running. The car began acting up after a few hours of driving (3 hours 8 minutes in total), and then it stopped working completely. I was glad the old one worked, although it was Purchase a good one at a higher price. You will need to pay for Freon service. This is being returned to you. It is very easy to All is well again with the air conditioner. Upon turning on the car, the air conditioner is blowing cold.

The AC went out on my 2015 VW Jetta with plenty of freon still in it, so the AC system was in need of this. I did not have to remove the compressor to install it, but I did have to evacuate the This has been installed and the freon has been recharged. This time it seems as if it were brand Compared to 250+ for a new compressor, this is better.
