Common Problems This Part Can Address

• No cold air from the vents
• Compressor clutch or compressor noise during A/C operation
• Refrigerant pressure loss tied to compressor wear
• Reduced cooling performance in BMW HVAC systems
• Failure of the original compressor on R134A-equipped vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify refrigerant type, pulley groove count, connector style, and compressor type before installation. This compressor is specified for R134A systems using PAG 46 oil, so the system should be serviced with the correct refrigerant oil and evacuated before recharge. Confirm the OE match on BMW 325i, 330i, 525i, X5, and other listed applications to avoid fitment issues.

Quality Assurance

Bosch subjects this A/C compressor to release testing that includes endurance, performance, vibration, leak, salt spray, and noise evaluation. The result is a replacement compressor built to align with OE specifications for BMW HVAC service.
