Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, verify that your vehicle's OE number matches 7L6820808 to ensure fitment. Setup requires an A/C manifold gauge set, a vacuum pump, and refrigerant recovery equipment. Always replace the receiver drier (accumulator) and expansion valve when replacing the compressor to prevent debris from circulating through the new unit. To maintain the life of the compressor, ensure the drive belt is inspected for cracks and that the tensioner is functioning correctly. Periodically check the A/C system for refrigerant leaks using a UV dye or electronic leak detector.
