## Overview

The RKX AC Compressor Control Solenoid Valve is a premium, ISO-certified replacement part designed exclusively for Sanden PXE16 and PXE14 compressors used in many Volkswagen and Audi models from 2006 onward. Engineered with durable stainless steel and secured by a snap ring, this valve restores reliable AC performance by addressing common solenoid failures that cause intermittent or no cooling. Installation requires professional AC system evacuation and recharge, but the result is a noticeably cooler cabin and significant savings over full compressor replacement.

## Description

IF YOUR VALVE IS HELD IN WITH A BOLT THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT PART! Compatible with many 2006 and up vehicles with Sanden PXE16/14 compressor. These compressor were used in: A3, Golf, Jetta, GTI, GLI, Passat, and Tiguan You must verify you have a Sanden compressor as some years use a Zexel or Denso compressor (Zexel compressor are easily identified by a bolt holding in the control solenoid rather than a snap ring). This valve was also use in the Rav4 and Camry from 2005-2009 List of compressor this valve will fit. (Please note this is not a complete list and may fit other compressors not listed) 1K0260859F / 1K0820803E / 1K0820803F / 1K0820803G / 1K0820803H / 1K0820803J / 1K0820803K / 1K0820803L / 1K0820803N / 1K0820803P / 1K0820803Q / 1K0820803S / 1K0820803T / 1K0820808A / 1K0820859C / 1K0820859D / 1K0820859E / 1K0820859F / 1K0820859H / 1K0820859M / 1K0820859P / 1K0820859Q / 1K0820859S PXE16-1601P / PXE16-8675 / PXE16-8675F / PXE16-8676 / PXE16-8676F / PXE16-8680F / PXE16-8680P / PXE16-8681F / PXE16-8681P / PXE16-U4569 / PXE16-U4571 / PXE16-U4573 / PXE16-U8675A / PXE16-U8676A / 1601P / 8675 / 8675F / 8676 / 8676F / 8680F / 8680P / 8681F / 8681P / U4569 / U4571 / U4573 / U8675A / U8676A / U4572 / 1615 / U4568 / U4572

Review: Works - Difficult to remove the old valve ,once fitted fixed the air on great cold air now.this part although easy to replace you will need to have the system emptied and refilled once fitted by a professional garage.
Review: I bought this about a year ago and installed it at the same time on my 2012 A3 TDI. Install was easy enough, take the under tray off, take off the connector and a circlip, then pop it out of the compressor, install was the reverse and took maybe an hour total because the system still had a vacuum and I didn't vent it so the factory valve sucked itself in place. Otherwise it probably would have taken under 45 minutes including putting the car on jack stands. After that and a recharge, the AC has never worked so well. Now it can actually cool the interior on a really hot day. One year later and it still works great. Wish I knew about replacing this part sooner so I could have spent the previous 3 years with mediocre AC instead with AC that works! Just note that the easiest way to see if this part has failed is to check your pressures. If the low side seems high and the high side seems low, it is most likely this part in the case of VWs. The compressor actually failing isn't that common, but replacing the compressor because of this part is. Save over $200 in parts and get this instead!
