Bosch A/C Compressor P/N:1986AD1383
Keep cool air flowing through the cabin with the Bosch A/C Compressor 1986AD1122. This AC compressor is a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2013 BMW 328i, the 2011-2013 BMW 328i xDrive and the 2007-2010 BMW X3.
The compressor is the pump at the heart of the air-conditioning system. It draws in low-pressure refrigerant vapor and compresses it to high pressure, which moves the refrigerant through the condenser, expansion device and evaporator so the system can cool the air entering the cabin. When the original unit wears out or leaks, this Bosch AC compressor is designed to take its place in the listed applications.
Signs this part may need replacing: warm air from the vents with the A/C switched on, grinding or knocking noises from the compressor while the A/C runs, or refrigerant leaking at the compressor body. Low refrigerant, a faulty sensor or an electrical fault can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the A/C system before you replace the compressor.
Installation: Replacing the compressor means recovering and recharging the refrigerant. It is best done by a qualified A/C technician following the vehicle service information.
