MK4 A/C Service Port Valves. Dont buy from VW!!

**WhO** · 11-01-2013, 09:43 AM

Hi All,

As were in that time of the year when its hot and A/C is the best thing in the world I thought i'd share a finding of mine.

When my High Side A/C Service port valve started leaking badly I searched everywhere to find a non genuine replacement to no luck. As Such I paid $64 for it from VW.

Now just after re-gassing the a/c my Low side service port started leaking... just my luck. Not willing to pay another $64 from VW for that valve I started looking for a replacement elsewhere.

Well i've found one

For a wallet shattering sub $8 US ea. for the High Side and Low Side you can get replacements form the States. They're to suit a Ford / GM application but are the same as what is found on the MK4 Bora 4motion and thus i'd say the rest of the Mk4 builds.

Part Numbers are:
4 Seasons 59945 (Low Side)
4 Seasons 59946 (High Side)

I got mine from Amazon.com but they're out of stock and now are shipping from a 3rd party who wont ship to Aust. However I'm sure there are plenty of other US parts dealers where you will be able to pick one up!

Hope this helps someone out there

Cheers,
Rob
