Please advice: which OEM brand for aircon compressor?

[raven]

Hi

The original VW part is Sanden and its really expensive. Saw some online shops selling OEM brands like NRF, Hella, Dasis, APS etc. Can someone recommend a reliable one? Tks

Tks Paul, but think part no is 1K0820808B

Depending on its age, I suspect you compressor part number may have been superseded by a newer number.

It might fit, but not 100% sure if you want I can take more pics from all sides?

How could one check?

Cant be any worse than the genuine ones.

Eurocarparts do sanden ones and you can put discount codes on to get them at a reasonable price

Thanks. NRF from Misterauto seemed cheaper than original. Not sure about the quality of NRF......any tried them? Are NRF OEM for Sanden?

No one heard of NRF? In their website, they mentioned they are the distributor for Sanden?
