Wisepick AC Compressor A/C Control Solenoid Valve SANDEN PXE14 PXE16 for VOLKSWAGEN

This was exactly what I was needing.Mechanics said I needed a new AC compressor.I was able to have local mechanic remove my refrigerant from the system, I removed the solenoid (need a pair of snap ring pliers) installed this one and then had my system refilled and it’s better than ever! Ice cold in about 30 seconds!Couldn’t be happierTry this before replacing ac compressor

After a frustrating fiasco with a cheaper unit here on amazon, I finally ordered this solenoid for my 2013 vw passat tdi se. My dealer wanted an arm and a leg to repair my AC. Of course thanks to old YouTube and gracious people that share their experiences with the rest of us. I was able to conclude that this was the culprit causing my AC to work on/off. I am glad I didn't listen to the stealership. $1700 they wanted for a new compressor and other unnecessary crap. $25 later in parts, $150 in tools, and here I am in sunny and humid florida with my AC running perfect! I will post an update in about a year or so. So far the difference between this part and the cheaper one available in amazon is like night and day. The cheaper one leak right away. As I was charging my system with refrigerant. This unit, I noticed the quality right away. And when I put it in the compressor, it snap in place very nice and secure. I recommend the part for those of you who dont mind getting your hands dirty and doing alittle research to fix your own vehicle.

Todo perfecto ya funciona mi aire acondicionado.

Works as expected, but, be prepared to do it again. Seems to be a VW thing.(12 JSW TDI)

Exact match to what was in the car. Common failure on VW compressors. Car would take up to 5 min to get cold air. After replacement it was instant. So far so good. Definitely worth it instead of compressor replacement. As long as the system wasn't low on refrigerant before this should fix your problem
