Hi
I am currently going down the path of trying to figure out whether I actually have a failed A/C compressor or just require a new RCV (refrigerant control valve) which seems to be a common fault. The local VW dealer and A/C mechanic have both told me I need a new compressor but after reading the forums it seems that this is often just a misdiagnosed conclusion. I want to try and replace the RCV before going down the $1300 path of compressor replacement. It appears that these valves are only available overseas. Has anyone sourced any in Australia? If so where? If from overseas where from America or just China knockoffs? Any advise appreciated
Cheers
Rob
