1K0820803E AC Compressor Control Solenoid Valve PXE16 PXE14 Fits Volkswagen Jetta Sanden PXE16 PXE14 ; VW GTI/Golf/Passat/Tiguan/Jetta TDI Audi A3 Compressor Pressure Control Valve

STILL PENDING INSTALLING BUT OVERALL Good Quality and fast shipping

After replacing my compressor and condenser (thinking that was the issue, money wasted) my air still wouldn’t blow cold, nothing but hot air. As soon as I ordered this piece and had it put on, added a 1/2 can of Freon my air blows so cold I have to run it on a low setting. So glad I purchased from Amazon. This same piece was $180 at Autozone then dropped to $112. Nope!!!!

Finally got the old solenoid out, this one did not match the configuration of the one we pulled out. Ended up buying a whole new compressor with solenoid which was just as easy to replace the whole unit. Past timeline to return. Never able to see if it worked as needed

I am fortunate in that a buddy has a lift that we used. We had the old solenoid out and the new one installed in less than 15 minutes. This could not happen WITHOUT THE LIFT! Without a lift this job would be a real pain. You have the plastic skid plate to remove to access the area of the AC Compressor. Since we could stand under vehicle the angles to get into the location, especially with the snap ring pliers was very easy. if this was laying on your back under car ramps it would be very difficult. My advice: if you need the part, and its easy to determine if you do ( watch videos on line) buy the part and see if a local mechanic will install for $30-$40. FYI couldn't find part locally, unless dealer which was outrages in price. One other thing: I am sure that unscrupulous mechanics will tell you to replace the compressor etc. NOT NEEDED...save yourself $100'sUpdate 6/4 /19: The AC is running great -ice cold! In fact Ithink its colder now than when the vehicle was new! I am changing my overall rating to 5 stars. I hope the part lasts!Also, I would strongly encourage changing your serpentine belt if your replacing this solenoid. Why? its very easy to get to from under the vehicle, while doing this solenoid. The belt is relatively cheap $12-$15. One socket on the "tensioner" and it was off and a new installed in under 3 minutes!

Works great

Worked perfect. Was told I needed a whole new compressor for $1200 installed. I replaced this part and my AC works like new.. Thank you

Verified it was dead by ordering a valve from another supplier and installing it. Seems like the cheap valves are a gamble, and given that you'll need to recharge the system and replace some of the lost compressor oil I would suggest going with a better one.

Unfortunately product did not work on my passat 2012 2.5i from Qatar. I did remove and plugged in twice no response compressor was not turning on. mine which i think its faulty did work butnas usual intermittently blows cold air.
