Pull moisture and debris out of your A/C refrigerant with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier 83053, an aluminum filter drier with a pad mount. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 2010 Volkswagen Beetle Cabrio, 2011-2015 Volkswagen Clasico, and 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
- Filters the refrigerant: Acts as a filter, using a desiccant to absorb moisture and trap contaminants that flushing alone cannot remove from the air conditioning system.
- Aluminum construction: Built as an aluminum filter drier with quality welds for a durable, leak-free design.
- Installation hardware included: Ships with the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal for the job.
- Pad mount: Features a pad mount for secure fitment.
The desiccant bag can become saturated quickly once a system is opened or leaking, which makes the drier ineffective. Because of this, the drier should be replaced any time the A/C system is serviced, and replacement is required to validate a new compressor's warranty. Backed by Four Seasons and their decades of mobile A/C experience.
