Product Overview

The air conditioning compressor, OEM number A0038304360, is fitted across Mercedes-Benz's compact platform family, covering the A-Class (W176), B-Class (W242/W246), CLA-Class (C117/X117, including CLA250 and CLA45 2.0L, 2013 onward), and GLA-Class (X156, including GLA250 and GLA45 2.0L, 2013 onward). Since this compressor is shared across so many closely related models, it's a high-turnover part number worth stocking in volume for distributors serving Mercedes-Benz compact-platform demand.

Worn or failing units typically show up as weak or no cold air, unusual noise from the compressor, or a refrigerant leak. GSK Auto manufactures this A/C compressor to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

What Is an A/C Compressor?

Function: The A/C compressor pressurizes refrigerant gas and circulates it through the air conditioning system, enabling the system to cool cabin air.

Working Principle: Driven by the engine via a belt and pulley, the compressor draws in low-pressure refrigerant gas and compresses it into a high-pressure gas, which then flows to the condenser to begin the cooling cycle.

Importance: On a premium compact platform shared across several body styles, a reliable A/C compressor is essential for cabin comfort and consistent system performance.

Common Failures & Signs: Internal seal or shaft wear causing refrigerant leaks. Worn clutch or bearing causing noise or clicking from the compressor. Weak, warm, or inconsistent cooling. Compressor clutch failing to engage.
