A/C Compressor w/ PXC14 for Chevrolet Cruze 2016-2018: What You Need to Know

When the AC in your Chevrolet Cruze dies, the cabin heats up fast and the problem rarely fixes itself. The A/C Compressor w/ PXC14 Compressor for Chevrolet Cruze 2016-2018 39067789 is the direct replacement for OEM part 39067789, built to factory specifications for this exact model range.

Two details set this unit apart from budget compressors. The clutch comes pre-installed, and the case is pre-filled with the correct amount of PAG oil. That cuts installation time and removes the guesswork that causes early failures in DIY jobs.

Below you get the full spec sheet, the exact fitment range, the four AC faults RepairPal flags as most common on this Cruze generation, and the service steps that keep a new compressor alive. For the long-form background, read the complete guide to this compressor on the Koeep blog.

Technical Specifications

Check these numbers against your old unit before you order. The OEM number and the belt type are the two fastest ways to confirm you have the right part.

Will It Fit Your Cruze?

The A/C Compressor w/ PXC14 Compressor (39067789) covers 2016-2018 Chevrolet Cruze models with the 1.4L L4 engine and 2016-2018 Cruze models with the 1.8L engine. If your vehicle calls for OEM part 39067789, this is your part.

GM assigns several interchangeable numbers to the same component. This compressor cross-references to the following numbers, so compare them against the tag on your old unit:

• 13427936
• 141418NC
• 15-22365 / 1522365
• 276278
• 39176466
• 639706
• 68570 / T68570
• 7513236
• A76277
• C3182

Running an earlier Cruze? The 2012-2015 sedan takes a different compressor, so this one will not bolt up. Koeep stocks the AC Compressor w/ Clutch for the 2012-2015 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan 4-Door (3913319, 1.4L), which is listed separately so each model year gets the correct unit.

For everything else the climate system needs — condensers, blowers, filters, hoses — the full AC and heating parts catalog covers the complete Koeep range for cars and motorcycles.

Why Cruze AC Systems Fail

RepairPal data on the 2016-2018 Cruze points to four faults behind a dead AC:

1. Refrigerant leaks — the most frequent issue, and the one that usually ends in compressor replacement.
2. Electrical climate control problems — failed relays, blown fuses, or bad control modules.
3. Compressor failure — worn bearings, clutch failure, or internal component damage.
4. System contamination — dirt, debris, or moisture interfering with performance.

Symptoms that point at the compressor itself: warm air from the vents, unusual noises from the compressor area, visible refrigerant leaks, or an AC clutch that refuses to engage. Any one of these justifies a system check.

Installation Notes That Protect Your New Compressor

Because the clutch is already mounted and the PAG oil charge is correct from the factory, the mechanical swap is straightforward. Connectors are direct-fit, so there is no wire splicing, and the unit runs on R134a refrigerant — the standard for this Cruze generation.

A compressor replacement touches the whole AC circuit, though. Koeep recommends these four steps whenever you install one:

1. Have the entire AC system professionally evacuated and recharged.
2. Replace the receiver/drier or accumulator.
3. Flush the system if the old compressor failed from contamination.
4. Check the related components: condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve.

Skip these steps and debris or moisture from the old failure can tear down the new compressor within weeks. The extra hour of system service costs far less than a second compressor.
