Looks like one of the suppliers is Denso. The safer bet is buying the Denso aftermarket version from Rockauto
Denso, jap quality is more reliable. My oe compressor is Denso on a 2014 328xi.
So the Denso (Passat) will bolt right up and hoses will work fine. I only got about 1oz of oil out of the drain (fill) hole and none from the ports. There is only about 1/4" in the cup--I'd estimate less than 1oz. Book calls for around 4oz which I will put in before install.
Just for the record, the original OEM is Denso and the W12 uses part number 471-1392 which also has the correct amount of oil in it already!
You have to lookup the valve online based upon your make/model of the A/C compressor. VW will only sell the whole compressor as a replacement. A full vacuum and refill process will be needed.
I too just got a new one from Rockauto. Denso is the OEM manufacturer and I felt it more worth it than trying to rebuild. The 924S is blowing cold now after the r134a conversion.
denso compressor 100%, you’ll end replacing that uac in a year if you get it
When I replaced the AC compressor in my E92 I went with a Denso. Just so happened that the original i pulled out was a Denso as well with BMW badging so I would go that route.
skip the auto zone and get an a/c compressor from rock auto \n[https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/honda,2010,cr-v,2.4l+l4,1444968,heat+&+air+conditioning,a/c+compressor,6628](https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/honda,2010,cr-v,2.4l+l4,1444968,heat+&+air+conditioning,a/c+compressor,6628) \ngo with the nissen or denso
I ordered the Denso part listed as being compatible after having cross referenced it with Denso's own site along with a new condenser, expansion valve and seals. Receive the order and take it to the shop for installation. They call and say it doesn't fit. The mounting holes on the old one are 133mm apart while the new is 132mm apart. They say the bolt simply won't go in due to it having such small tolerances.
