Installation Notes and Tips

Verify refrigerant type and vehicle build date before ordering, since several fitments are date-specific. Confirm the OE part number and system configuration on the vehicle, especially for 2013-2016 Volkswagen applications and the 2020 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L engine note. Proper evacuation, flushing where required, and correct oil charge are important during compressor replacement.
