Volkswagen Car Parts for Auto Air Conditioning Systems

When purchasing VW air conditioning components, consider buying rebuilt or remanufactured parts. A rebuilt compressor, for example, is generally cheaper than a new, factory-direct unit and should also carry a good warranty. When parts are rebuilt, the metal pieces that do not deteriorate with age and use are cleaned and refinished. The unit is then reassembled with new rings, valves and other pieces that are made of less-durable materials. The final product should be as good as a factory-made part if the workmanship is solid.

One important thing to remember when considering auto A/C repairs to a Volkswagen is that the VW A/C system is complicated and many things can go wrong. The newer coolant type, R-134a, is less toxic than the older R-12 refrigerant, but it is still dangerous. It is also illegal to vent coolant of either type. This is one reason that Volkswagen air conditioning repairs should always be done by a professional. Another reason is warranty limitations. Many warranties are voided if the work is done by an unlicensed technician. This includes car owners without certification in air conditioning repair.
