I need a new AC clutch.
VW want between $680 and $757 for the part. 2 dealers gave me different part numbers.

Newstead VW say part number 1J0820811M
I found VW JETTA AC Compressor CLUTCH ASSEMBLY 98 99 00 2000 A/C City Bora | eBay
I asked the seller to confirm and says it is for a Sanden compressor and will not fit 1J0820803G compressor.


Springwood VW say 1J0820811F
Springwood guy took the time to read the notes and said the M was for Sanden compressor, and the F was for Zexel. Zexel compressor was fitted for VIN 1JY onward, mine is 1JZ so it is covered.

I definitely have a Zexel, it is written on the compressor and it is part 1J0820803G.
So I found this part AUDI A3 VW GOLF MK4 AIR CON BELT PULLEY - 1J0 820 811 F | eBay
Now this seller says that it wont fit my VIN even though his listing says it fits compressor 1J0820803G.
My clutch looks just like his pic, it has the round things on it not the bars like the M clutch.

I'm leaning toward the F variant and just tell the guy to ship it and I'll wear it if it does not fit.
But I don't want to waste $110 + shipping. And I just cant stomach paying $600+ from the dealer.

The vehicle VIN is WVWZZZ1JZ1P550905 Engine AGU 1.8T.
These pics are from my car.




So anyone with knowledge on these things please chime in.
