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

The right part for my car. AC works well after replacement and help to save thousand dollars to replace the compressor. Need technican for installation, not recommended for DIY.

I have to say that this product is amazing, I take my golf tdi to the mechanic to see if they could find the problem on my A/C and they want it to change the whole compressor for $1,000...so I start reading on the internet about other options and I found out that this cars on particular have problems with the valve attached to the compressor.....so I decided to give a shot, just to see if I could fix the problem and it did.. this part works amazing i installed myself whitout a problem...all I have to say is that not pay attention to negative comments...you're gonna safe a lot of money, people who write bad comments is because they probably order the wrong part for the wrong compressor

I have done several of these valves from different suppliers. This one is junk. Before installing this valve the AC was cold but took 10-15 minutes of driving at high RPMs to get it that way. After installing the valve, the suction (low) side goes to relatively high pressure (80+) PSI after just a few ounces of Freon and won’t take any more. I suspect this valve isn’t actuating and the compressor won’t suck Freon into the low side port. I’m going to reinstall the old valve until I find a replacement that isn’t junk. Update: I reinstalled the *old* valve, evacuated and refilled with R134. The system pulled in the Freon no problem and I’m back in cold air. The valve I bought here is definitely defective and I’ll be returning it.

I installed this in my friends 2014 Volkswagen golf when her air conditioner quit working. I captured the R134 refrigerant in the system, pulled the clip out of the old solenoid and put this one in. evacuated the system and put in new R134 and it the system cools like it was new.

The dealership wanted over $1200 to fix the AC on my car. Then I saw a couple of YouTube videos that said most of the time the problems I was experiencing (AC barely working, and only intermittently) was fixed by this valve. So I bought this part and had a local mechanic install it for me. Now my AC is working like new and I saved well over $1000!

Just got this for our 2008 VW Rabbit. It was taking a while for the AC to kick on, like other people had reported when the valve is sticking. Had the system drained and I replaced the part myself. Nothing besides the splash shield needs to be removed to install this part. Jack up the front end (please use jack stands for safety), remove the splash shield, disconnect the electrical plug, use snap ring pliers to remove the snap ring, and gently pry the old valve out with a large screwdriver. The more the front end is lifted, the less likely that any PAG oil from the compressor will leak out. When putting the new one in, lube the o-rings with some pag oil to help the seal and preserve them. I suggest wearing a mask and safety glasses. You do not want any PAG oil on your face if there is still any pressure left in the system.

Works perfect. My 2007 Jetta 2.5 is now blowing great AC cold air. Also feplaced the cabin filter and the airflow increased dramatically as well (very dirty filter).

It looks like a great quality product! I just have the shorter valve in my Sanden PXE 16 compressor. I would definitely recommend pulling the original valve and measuring it before ordering.
