Reviews of OEM Volkswagen AC compressor

A/C compressor spontaneously sprung a leak up top a month ago.

My 2015 GSW had to have A/C compressor replaced at about 5000 miles.

Bad A/C compressor and blown 12v outlet fuse from factory. Got both replaced, no problems.

I've owned my late 2007 build since new and it now has 80,000 on the clock (2.0T FSI). Only major problem was that the A/C compressor went at about 40k, but was replaced for free under warranty.

i have been running a VR6 compressor on my ABA for 4 years now and no problems with it spinning the "wrong" way its just like an alternator can spin in any direction because of its construction

I had searched everywhere and found a lot of stuff but upon doing it myself I felt like I ran across to many questions that could have been answered. This is an age old modification(can it even be called one) but I would like to refresh the memories of those who can't remember and shed some light for those about to do it.
