VW A/C Hose Assembly - Genuine VW 1K0820743BR

Product Information

An A/C hose assembly is either a high- or low-pressure hose that carry refrigerant between the main components of the air conditioning system, such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. These hoses are designed to withstand both high pressure and temperature variations while keeping the refrigerant sealed within the system.

• Refrigerant leaks, often seen as oily residue or detected by reduced cooling performance.
• Weak or no cold air from the A/C system due to loss of refrigerant pressure.
• Hissing noises or visible cracks in the hoses, especially under high A/C load.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
