FAQs

Does this compressor come with oil inside?

While units may come with a small amount of shipping oil, you should always check the service manual and add the correct amount of PAG 46 oil required for your specific system capacity.

Is the 813201 compatible with my car?

Compatibility is determined by your vehicle's specific A/C system requirements. Please use your VIN or consult your service manual to confirm part number 813201 matches your factory equipment.

What is the warranty period?

This product includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Do I need to replace other parts when installing this compressor?

It is standard industry practice to replace the receiver drier or accumulator and the expansion valve when installing a new compressor to ensure system cleanliness.

What if my system uses a different oil?

You must use the oil specified for the system (PAG 46). Mixing different types of lubricant will cause the compressor to fail and will void the warranty.

Troubleshooting

Compressor clutch fails to engage

Check the A/C relay, fuse, and refrigerant pressure levels. Low pressure may trigger a safety switch to prevent engagement.

Excessive noise during operation

Inspect the drive belt tension and ensure all mounting bolts are tightened to factory specifications.

Poor cooling performance

Verify that the correct amount of refrigerant and PAG 46 oil were used and ensure there are no blockages in the condenser.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Valeo 813201 compressor, professional installation is strongly recommended.

  1. Compatibility Check: Always verify the part number 813201 against your specific vehicle make, model, and year documentation before initiating installation.
  2. System Flushing: Before installing the new compressor, flush the A/C lines to remove any metal shavings or contaminants from the old unit.
  3. Oil Requirements: Use only PAG 46 oil as specified for this unit to prevent mechanical failure.
  4. Vacuum Testing: After installation, perform a deep vacuum test on the system to remove moisture before recharging with the correct amount of refrigerant.
  5. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the drive belt for signs of wear, as an improper belt tension can place undue stress on the compressor pulley.
