Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, meticulously verify that your vehicle's original AC compressor part number matches one of the compatible numbers: 108819800P, 108819800L, or 108819800M. This step is critical for ensuring proper fit and function.
Installation: Installation of an AC compressor is a complex procedure typically requiring professional automotive AC service equipment and expertise. It involves evacuating the existing refrigerant, removing the old compressor, installing the new unit, ensuring correct oil levels (255 ml POE oil is pre-filled), and recharging the system with the appropriate refrigerant. Improper installation can lead to system damage or poor performance.
Care: Once installed, the compressor requires no specific user care beyond regular AC system maintenance as recommended by Tesla. Ensure that the vehicle's cabin air filters are replaced at recommended intervals to maintain system efficiency and air quality.
