VW VOLKSWAGEN AUDI SKODA SEAT AIR-CONDITIONING CLUTCH SHEAR PLATE REPAIR KIT FOR MODELS WITH SANDEN COMPRESSORS 1K0820859F
Have you been told you need a new compressor for a 4-figure price? The NZ companies who repair and import parts for aircon do not keep this part and have no interest in stocking it - why would they, when they can make $1000 or more out of telling you that your Climate Control compressor is unrepairable, and selling you a complete new one, along with all of the labour costs in replacing and then re-gassing the system
** COMPRESSORS ON THESE MODELS CAN BE ONE OF 3 TYPES - SANDEN ZEXEL / DENSO OR DELPHI - THIS PART SUITS MODELS WITH SANDEN ONLY **
This kit will repair compressors typically with the following part number: 1K0820859F
** FREE NZ SHIPPING NON-RURAL **
Many failures of the Sanden compressors fitted to Volkswagen Audi Seat and Skoda fitted from approximately 2005 on are due to nothing more than a failure of this simple shear-plate clutch on the drive pulley , which can in fact be replaced in place, and without even taking off the drive belt or losing the refrigerant gas
This won't fix every failure, but if the compressor has not seized then it is certainly worth checking this clutch before having your wallet lightened. The splines in the middle of the clutch often wear out because the centre nut comes loose (no thread-lock at the factory) or else the spring-steel tongues fracture from old age
** BRAND-NEW AFTERMARKET PART - NOT AVAILABLE AS GENUINE **
I have not yet used enough of these replacement parts to decide if they are at least as reliable as the genuine part originally fitted to your car, but it would hard for them to be much worse!
** CHECK OUT THE VIDEO AND SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO CARRY OUT THIS REPAIR **
(video shows replacement of the clutch on a Delphi brand compressor but the procedure on Sanden type is very similar)
Found on the following models: Audi A3 Q3 from 2004 VW Golf Mk5 Mk6 Mk7 Passat Tiguan Touran Skoda Octavia Fabia Seat
Please be sure that this is the correct part for your needs, as there are no refunds if you get it wrong. The part is 91mm in diameter and must look exactly the same as my photos
