Product Details

This compressor is specified for BMW X1, BMW X3, and BMW X5 applications listed below and is intended for vehicles using an electronically controlled compressor setup. The electronic control valve helps regulate compressor output within the HVAC system, while the 8-groove pulley and 12V coil support proper belt-driven operation. If you are replacing a worn or noisy BMW X3 A/C compressor or servicing a BMW X1 or BMW X5 cooling system, TYC 20118 provides the core compressor assembly for the repair.

This part cross-references Four Seasons 198366 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Weak or inconsistent air conditioning output
  • Compressor noise from internal wear
  • Loss of refrigerant compression in the HVAC system
  • Electrical control issues related to the compressor clutch circuit
  • Poor cooling performance in BMW X1, X3, or X5 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify refrigerant type, connector style, pulley groove count, and control-valve configuration before installation. Replace the receiver/drier or accumulator and inspect the system for contamination, leaks, and belt condition before charging. Proper evacuation and recharge procedures are important for compressor service, and the system should be filled with the specified PAG46 oil amount for the application.

Quality Assurance

TYC 20118 is backed by a 2-year warranty. Confirm fitment for 2011 BMW X5, 2011-2012 BMW X1, and 2011-2012 BMW X3 before ordering to ensure the compressor matches the vehicle’s HVAC configuration.
