Keep moisture and contaminants out of your air conditioning system with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element 83281. This desiccant cartridge kit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat, 2009-2011 Volkswagen CC, and 2009-2011 Volkswagen Passat CC (all engines), renewing the fresh desiccant inside your existing drier housing.

  • Complete cartridge kit: Ships as a desiccant cartridge kit with plug and includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal for installation.
  • 65 grams of desiccant: The desiccant absorbs moisture drawn into the system; a leaking or "open" system can saturate it within a few hours, so it should be renewed whenever the system is serviced.
  • Filters the system: Acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants that flushing cannot clear.
  • Black plastic construction: Produced by Four Seasons in an ISO/TS16949 & ISO14001 certified facility.

Four Seasons recommends replacing the drier/desiccant anytime the A/C system is opened, and replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty — backed by over 50 years of mobile A/C experience.
