Hi guys,
Ive recently bought a A7 2016 with a 3.0 TFSI CREC engine. This engine has the 2nd generation compressor, so it has the magnetic clutch.
Unfortunatily this clutch is defective and its not engaging when im pressing the gas pedal, its making a weird metal/squaking noise...
Replacing this Clutch.... is a very complicated procedure unfortunatily... and is also expensive.
So i did some research and i bought a 2nd hand, S4 compressor (the same with the magnetic clutch) with only 20k km on it.
I want to replace the compressor oil by following this: https://www.fcpeuro.com/blog/how-to-...-s5-q5-q7-more
However this is the 1st gen 3.0T engine and compressor. I wanted to know if i can safely follow the same instructions for the 2nd gen compressor as well?
This article says i need compressor oil: G070000A1, however this is for 2011-2014

2016 models need G070000A0
https://www.oemvwshop.com/g-070000a0...-oil-p1238085/
My question is, Are these oils interchangeable?
G070000A0 is VERY hard to find (in the netherlands) and the G070000A1 looks to be more widely known.
Can i use G070000A1 to fill my 2nd gen (2nd hand) compressor?
Thanks in advance
