Golf mk7 / MK 7.5 A/C Condensor
« Last post by AGB on 19 May 2025, 23:10 »
Hello

Wondering if anyone has had to replace an A/C condensor on a Mk 7.5? My ongoing issue with the aircon has been traced to a stone impact on the condensor (having already replaced the compressor which had a bearing failure).

I'm trying to confirm a part number and price but am struggling to find somewhere with stock at the moment. I think the part number is 5QM816411B. Not sure if model year makes a difference to fitment but it's a 2019 car. Quattrotech quoted me £920 for the replacement OE part which is from VW spares.  :laugh:

I've been looking at replacement with Bosch or Mann, not sure who actually manufacturers the OE condensor but will generally take OE or something of a better quality standard in replacement.

Thanks in advance for any supplier recommendations or experiences.

You are not wrong, this was gradually creeping up and would have been more if I hadn't have stopped at the destination. Was also a hot day, aircon was on LO and blowing very cold, so that took some juice. Impressive...

Today however, I went for a blast and it's back to normal service, mid 20's  :laugh:

I think my best was 55mpg but that was a long motorway drive with little traffic and cruise set to 60mph (it was during the petrol supply crisis).

Does show that its capable of it under the right condition.

Had to take a pic today, out on a local drive today with minimal traffic, it actually topped at 51.5mpg and went down a tad by the time I stopped. All in comfort / Sunday driving mode  :grin:
