Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, check that your original compressor is a Sanden SD7V16 style unit with the same ear mount layout, 12V electrical setup, and 7 groove pulley section. The listed part number CXS1102 is the clearest reference point when matching a replacement, especially where the old compressor has been removed or the vehicle has had previous air conditioning repairs.

The mounting details matter just as much as the brand. This unit uses a horizontal special pad fitting type, a VQR head code, and a 120mm clutch diameter, so a visual match alone is not enough if the compressor has been swapped in the past. The 68.9mm gauge line and 6.4kg weight are also practical checks when comparing units on the bench.

Lubrication requirements should be confirmed during installation. This compressor notes SP10 oil and a 135ml oil capacity, so the correct oil type and amount should be verified by the installer before the system is reassembled. As with any air conditioning compressor replacement, the condition of the system, hoses, seals, and associated components should be checked at the same time.

The fitment listing provided covers specific Volkswagen Golf and Passat applications only. If your vehicle is outside those model and engine ranges, or if the existing compressor has a different mounting pattern or pulley layout, confirm suitability by part number and application details before purchase. That is the safest way to avoid delays and incorrect ordering.

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 CXS1102 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.

Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a air conditioning compressor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.
