Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83280
Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83280
$37.99

Keep the refrigerant clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator 83280. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2004 Audi A6 / A6 Quattro, 2007-2008 Audi RS4, 2003-2004 Audi RS6 / RS6 Avant, and 2000 Volkswagen Passat — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment. The accumulator / filter drier works as a filter, pulling moisture and contaminants out of the A/C system that a flush cannot remove.

  • Moisture & contaminant control: a desiccant bag absorbs moisture from the system; a leaking or open system can saturate the bag within hours, so replacement is essential.
  • Leak-free build: quality welds are used for a durable, leak-resistant design, with high-quality desiccant for appropriate absorption.
  • Ready to install: the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included.
  • Service-time part: the accumulator / filter drier must be replaced any time the system is opened for service, and replacement is required to validate compressor warranty.

Backed by Four Seasons' mobile A/C experience and produced in an ISO/TS16949 & ISO14001 certified facility.

It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2004 Audi A6 / A6 Quattro, 2007-2008 Audi RS4, 2003-2004 Audi RS6 / RS6 Avant, and 2000 Volkswagen Passat. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full details.
