The air conditioning unit in my 2001 130tdi has developed a whining noise and although it still pumps out cold air I have switched it off for safety. My local VW agents checked it out on their diagnostic test and informed me that the compressor needs replacing at a cost of £1100!!
Any suggestions on parts for servicing a knackered compressor would be grateful

More likely to be the pulley.

You can repair just the pulley.

I'm not up to speed with exactly whats what with this but do know that the pulley spindles fail. Search online for info on repairing it, I'm sure it is possible and will cost you way less than £1,100.00 !!!

In fact look here...
