A/C Not Cooling on Your Peugeot or Citroen? Replace the Sanden Valve for $54.
The A/C compressor control valve (solenoid) for Sanden SD6C12 and SD7C16 compressors (used in Peugeot 207/307/308/408/3008/5008/Partner, Citroen C4/C4 Picasso/C5/Berlingo, Chery, and GAC Trumpchi) regulates refrigerant displacement. A failed valve causes weak cooling, erratic compressor cycling, or A/C failure.
✓ What You Get: A/C compressor control solenoid valve for Sanden SD6C12 and SD7C16 — direct replacement, restores full cooling performance on Peugeot and Citroen models.
What's Included
- 1× A/C compressor control solenoid valve (Sanden SD6C12 / SD7C16)

About This Control Valve
Sanden SD6C12 and SD7C16 A/C compressor control solenoid valve — the primary wear part in these variable-displacement compressors fitted widely to Peugeot and Citroën PSA-platform vehicles. The solenoid controls compressor stroke based on cabin temperature demand. Solenoid failure is the most common A/C fault on these compressors before mechanical seizure occurs.
⚠ Verify Compressor Model Before Ordering: Confirm your compressor is a Sanden SD6C12, SD7C16, 6C12, or 7C16 before purchasing.
