Quick facts
- Part: Four Seasons 78313 A/C compressor
- Fits: the 1997-2005 Volkswagen Passat and other vehicles
- Condition: New
Weak cooling, a grinding or squealing noise from the compressor, or a clutch that will not engage can mean the compressor is failing. Before you replace it, rule out a refrigerant leak, a blown fuse or relay and a slipping belt, because any of them can also leave the cabin warm; a shop can test the system.
