7E5820304 Volkswagen DUCT

This duct basically manages the refrigerant flow coming out of the compressor. Think of the compressor as the heart of your AC system, pumping the refrigerant around. This duct is one of the lines that refrigerant travels through, directing it where it needs to go – towards the condenser, and eventually back into the cabin for cool air. It isn’t just a simple pipe; it has specific bends and sometimes includes an accumulator or filter – drier built in to clean and regulate the refrigerant. It’s a critical part of the whole AC loop. The compressor creates high – pressure, hot refrigerant, and this duct is the starting point for that refrigerant to actually get to where it needs to cool things down. It connects directly to the compressor outlet, so it's right at the beginning of the cooling process. It’s a pressure – bearing component, meaning it has to withstand a good amount of force from the refrigerant itself. If this duct fails, you’ll have serious AC problems, guaranteed. A leak would cause the refrigerant to escape, and you’d lose cooling ability quickly. It acts like a shield protecting the refrigerant and ensuring it gets to the condenser efficiently. You’ll notice if it's failing because your AC will blow warm, or you might hear a hissing sound indicating a refrigerant leak. Ignoring it will eventually lead to compressor damage, which is a much more expensive fix. You can find replacements pretty easily, and Fixparts Online has a good selection, but it’s important to get the right one for your specific vehicle. Competitive edge: Duct (MPN 7E5820304) comes with a 12-month warranty!
