Title: Please advice: which OEM brand for aircon compressor?
Post by: raven on May 06, 2013, 05:05:33 am
Hi

The original VW part is Sanden and its really expensive. Saw some online shops selling OEM brands like NRF, Hella, Dasis, APS etc. Can someone recommend a reliable one? Tks

Depending on its age, I suspect you compressor part number may have been superseded by a newer number.

Thanks. NRF from Misterauto seemed cheaper than original. Not sure about the quality of NRF......any tried them? Are NRF OEM for Sanden?

No one heard of NRF? In their website, they mentioned they are the distributor for Sanden?
