Detailed Description

Universal Air RD10901C is a desiccant insert used in the A/C receiver drier assembly to absorb moisture from the refrigerant circuit. In Volkswagen CC, Passat CC, and Passat models, this type of service part helps support stable A/C system operation by replacing a saturated desiccant element during maintenance. If you are searching for a Volkswagen CC A/C receiver drier desiccant insert, a Passat CC receiver drier element, or a Volkswagen Passat HVAC desiccant replacement, RD10901C is the matching service part to verify against your original component.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Moisture buildup inside the A/C refrigerant circuit
• Reduced cooling performance caused by a saturated desiccant element
• Service needs after receiver drier maintenance
• Contamination concerns in the HVAC system after component replacement
• Restoration of proper moisture absorption in the drier assembly

Installation Notes

Confirm the original receiver drier design before ordering, since this part is a desiccant insert rather than a complete accumulator or receiver drier assembly. Match the part number RD10901C to the existing component and verify vehicle application by year and model before installation. Proper A/C service procedures should be followed when opening the refrigerant system.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air supplies HVAC service components for automotive air conditioning repair, and RD10901C is listed for specific Volkswagen fitments to support accurate replacement selection. Verify compatibility with 2009-2017 Volkswagen CC, 2009-2012 Volkswagen Passat CC, and 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat before purchase.
