Team, I just acquired a 2005 Jetta TDI, 5 speed manual; 188k miles.

On the way home the AC compressor Control Valve (RCV) blew out from the compressor, losing the Snap ring. I can buy another Valve but I can't find the Snap ring. Anyone know where I can get a new Snap ring or the specifications so I can find a replacement?

Measure the diameter and groove width and get one from a local supply house. Not really rocket science and a little difference will make no difference as long as it can hold it in.

Yea, I ordered a kit with various sizes and will solve the issue that way. I thought suppliers of the RCV might have one but haven't found it yet.

I have a collection of PXE16 RCV snap rings. Send me a PM with your address. I will mail you one.

edit: I don’t have any more of these snap rings.

Thanks runonbeer - when I try to PM you I get an error that says your over your quota for messages (something like that). I found that strange. Any suggestions?

I do... But I will try to find one local first because I wanted to fix it today. I appreciate the offer. If I cant find one I'll be back.

Will report back if I find the size.
