- 1× YST-43 A/C compressor control solenoid
- O-ring seal(s)
Why Replace?
- Restores Cooling: Worn solenoid reduces compressor displacement and refrigerant flow.
- Stops Erratic Cycling: Failed valve causes rapid A/C on/off cycling.
- Saves $200+ vs Compressor: New compressor $250+; YST-43 solenoid costs $54.
- 30-Minute Job: Access compressor front, swap solenoid, reseal.

About This Control Valve
YST-43 A/C compressor control solenoid valve fits variable-displacement compressors used across the VAG group (VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT). The solenoid regulates compressor swash plate angle and refrigerant displacement based on cooling demand — solenoid failure causes reduced or no A/C output and is the most common A/C repair on these platforms before compressor replacement is needed.
