OEX Air Conditioning Condenser Parallel Flow Inlet Pad Outlet Pad CNX870

The OEX air conditioning condenser CNX870 is a parallel flow condenser with pad inlet and pad outlet fittings. It is listed with a thickness of 16mm, a length of 580mm, a height of 396mm, and a weight of 3kg, making it important to compare the physical dimensions and connection style against the condenser you are replacing.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, check the existing condenser for the pad inlet and pad outlet connection style, because that fitting arrangement is a defining feature of this CNX870 unit. The physical size also matters: this condenser measures 580mm long, 396mm high, and 16mm thick, so the mounting space and surrounding pipework need to match the replacement part.

The stated applications cover Audi A3 8P, Volkswagen MK5 and MK6 1K, and Tiguan 5N vehicles with the engine sizes and date ranges listed above. If your vehicle falls outside those details, compare the part number and the original condenser dimensions carefully rather than relying on model name alone.

The one year warranty applies to the part as supplied, but correct identification still depends on matching the condenser type, fittings, and application details. Air conditioning condensers can vary by body style, engine, and build period, so checking the existing part number CNX870 and the installed unit is the safest approach.

Weight can also be a useful check during comparison. At 3kg, this condenser gives you another reference point when confirming whether the replacement is consistent with the unit removed from the vehicle. If the original condenser has different dimensions or a different inlet or outlet configuration, stop and verify before fitting.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number CNX870 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For part number CNX870, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a air conditioning condenser in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed electrical specification should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include AUDI A3, AUDI A3 1997, AUDI A3 1998, AUDI A3 1999, SKODA OCTAVIA, SKODA OCTAVIA 2004. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching the part number CNX870, the pad inlet and pad outlet fittings, and the listed vehicle application details before purchase. Do not assume compatibility from vehicle model alone.
