Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Passat, Jetta, EOS, Rabbit and Tiguan Air Conditioner Compressor Failure

Air conditioner does not work, noises from engine compartment

Volkswagen Technical Product Information # 2023580/1
Repair Operation # 87 34 01 99
Release Date: 29-Jun-2010

Problem

Air conditioning does not work.

Noises from the engine compartment.

Background

Pulley bolt works it’s way free from compressor shaft creating noise and eventually failure of the compressor.

Only Delphi Compressors are affected, optimised Delphi compressors fitted from August 2008.

The refrigerant circuit does not need to be flushed as the damage to the compressor is external.

Diagnosis

Check the connection between the pulley and the compressor shaft while they are fitted:

  • The cooling performance check shows no pressure increase, although the refrigerant circuit is correctly filled and the control valve current is about 0.8A.
  • The mounting bolt of the pulley has visibly wandered out of the compressor shaft (see photo above).
  • The pulley turns without transmitting power, because the teeth of the pulley are worn.

Repair

Replace the compressor.
