Product overview

This replacement air conditioning compressor is listed for Volkswagen Group electric vehicles under OE-reference number 1EA820808B. The listing describes it as designed for R744 (CO2) refrigerant systems, used on many MEB-platform cars with heat pump climate control.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Electric A/C compressors in EVs are connected to the high-voltage system, and R744 systems operate at very high pressures. Installation must only be carried out by a technician qualified in both high-voltage EV work and refrigerant handling, with correct recovery, evacuation and charging equipment. Oil quantity and type must match manufacturer requirements.

Fitment checks before ordering

Not all ID-series cars use R744 systems; some use R1234yf, and compressors are not interchangeable between them. Confirm your refrigerant type, the OE number on your existing compressor and your VIN before ordering.

Package inclusions
