Definitely worth a shot for the money!
This part genuinely is easy to install with all the bolts provided, there is a good YouTube video that shows you how to replace it.
As many other peoples cars mine had warm air blowing through the vents no matter if I turn the aircon on or off so I brought my car into a garage to get the system refilled, the guy plugs the machine up and says it shows full already, tried troubleshooting with the fuse and ended up plugging in the diagnostics and all shows up as being fine...
So we notice the bolt in the middle of the aircon compressor pulley sticking out a bit and the mechanic just says this is a weak point on one of these, we will have to order a new compressor and empty and regas the system at a crazy cost...could not sleep that night so I went on forums that night looking for alternatives and came across this part.
Arrived the next day, half an hour or so later I had a nice cold aircon again! Most of that time I spent taking off the plastic arch liner and putting it back on. So if you are handy with your spanners this is a quick and easy job! I used some threadlock (not included in the set) to make sure that the new bolts don't come out.
Notice the stripped splines on the old part, this is what happens when the bolt holding it down loosens.Read full review...

100% excellent solution to a common issue
It was either a £400 compressor or this £30 repair kit, which is all that it needed anyway. Item turned up next day, well packed, looks great quality (time will tell however) and fits without issues.. You will need a impact gun to remove the old one as there's nothing to stop the compressor turning whilst undoing the centre torx bolt.
I put some loctite on the threads of the new bolts to help prevent a reoccurrence. But overall very happy, and AC working as it should again.
ALSO love the face the company sells many other items for common problems across other manufacturers, will definitely be using them again.Read full review...

Just what was needed
What to say? It does what it promised to do, which is repair an aircon compressor shear plate with stripped splines.
Especially helpful was the information contained in the eBay listing, which was invaluable in diagnosing the problem before purchase and very useful in giving an idea of what is entailed in replacing the component.
All in all, an inexpensive and easy fix for a potentially costly fault.Read full review...

Top Product, easy to assemble!
This is so simple to use and to assemble to the compressor, it took me one hour to do - even with the Webasto heater installed. And it worked instantly.
It saved me a lot og money, about 2200 EUR.
I reused the 3 screws securing it, because I thought the new ones was a bit short...
I'll buy another one just to store it for possible future use, for me or others!Read full review...

Don’t let VW rip you off !!!!
So the compressor stopped working and Vw don’t sell these parts separately. Best part of a grand they want. This replacement part fixed the issue (common fault that Vw know about) for only £30.
Would highly recommend x8r as they have taken the initiative to solve common costly problems that car manufacturers seem unwilling to address.Read full review...

Nice item - good quality
The repair kit fitted perfect. The original part have the center part in aluminum, which are causing the problem. This part have steel in the center part, so I believe this part have even better quality than the original.Read full review...

Easy fix for Delphi compressor
I was going to get a cheaper version but this is of superior quality and the product support is second to none, it came next day and took around 30 minutes to fit on a 2012 diesel Passat estate, I had a bit of trouble get the centre bolt out but I wedged a flat ended driver with just enough pressure to be able to undo the centre bolt Without damaging the pulley and fitting is very straight forward make sure you use thread lock when refitting and tighten adequately
It fixed my air on and saved me money. I recommend watching the video as it will help you. I will definitely use this company again.Read full review...

It fits well and is working
I've just fitted this Delphi Compressor clutch and it was easy to install for a DIY person.
It comes with new screws which is very important.
I can't say anything about the build quality because must pass the time test.
But it works and it was also at a good price.Read full review...

Really good part. Defo recommend if you need it. Fitted to a 2012 Passat.
Well made part, perfect fit. A lot safer and cheaper and environmentally cleaner than degassing the air con. The compressor shaft I had still had a good amount of splines left which was lucky but the new part splines were of a good depth to account for the wear. A tip is to put a dab of stud/thread lock on the centre bolt into the compressor shaft so it should help to stop a repeat of the issue. Would defo recommend the part. I cannot see why this part isn’t at the motor parts shops yet!Read full review...
