  • Removes moisture and contaminants: acts as a filter, pulling moisture and debris out of the A/C system that flushing alone cannot remove, which is why replacing the drier at service is essential.
  • Desiccant absorption: a desiccant bag absorbs moisture in the system; an open or leaking system can saturate the bag within hours and leave the unit ineffective.
  • Complete installation kit: includes the plug plus the gaskets, o-rings and seal needed for the job.
  • Built for durability: quality welds provide a leak-free design, backed by Four Seasons mobile A/C experience.

Replacing the filter drier is required to validate compressor warranty and should be done anytime the system is opened for service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this receiver drier do?

It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system through a desiccant bag. These contaminants can't be cleared by flushing, so replacing the drier is essential during service.

What comes in the kit?

This is a filter drier desiccant bag kit that includes the plug, plus the gaskets, o-rings and seal needed for installation.

Does it fit my vehicle?

It's a direct-fit replacement for listed 2015-2017 Audi A3, S1, S3 and TT variants and 2015-2017 Volkswagen/Golf models. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, make and model.

Do I need to replace the drier when servicing the A/C?

Yes. Replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty and should be done anytime the system is opened for service, since an open system can saturate the desiccant within hours.

Why can't the old drier just be flushed and reused?

Flushing cannot remove the moisture and contaminants the desiccant has absorbed, and a saturated bag makes the unit ineffective, so installing a new drier is the correct fix.
