Compatibility: Will It Fit Your Cruze?
This compressor was engineered for a single application: the 2016-2018 Chevrolet Cruze. If your car matches the list below, the part fits as-is:
- Make: Chevrolet
- Model: Cruze
- Years: 2016, 2017, 2018
- Engine: 1.4L-L4 Turbocharged
- Body styles: Sedan and Hatchback
Two OEM numbers attach to this part: 39067789 and 13427936. The compressor replaces both, so either number on your old unit's label points here. The fastest pre-order check is to read the number stamped on your original compressor and compare.
One boundary matters: this part does not fit the previous Cruze generation. If the car in your bay is a 2012-2015 Cruze Sedan 4-Door with the 1.4L engine, order the dedicated unit for those years instead — part number 3913319, sold as the AC Compressor w/ Clutch For 2012-2015 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan 4-Door. Ordering the correct generation the first time saves a return shipment and days of downtime.
Installation Requirements
Swapping an A/C compressor is a full system service, not a simple bolt-on job. Five steps are mandatory, in this order:
The Five Steps You Cannot Skip
- System flushing — the entire A/C system must be thoroughly flushed to remove contaminants before the new compressor goes in.
- New refrigerant — fresh refrigerant must be used when the compressor assembly is installed. Reusing the old charge is not an option.
- Oil charge — add the proper compressor oil according to manufacturer specifications.
- System evacuation — the system must be properly evacuated before charging.
- Leak testing — run comprehensive leak tests after installation to verify the repair holds.
Why Professional Installation Is the Safe Bet
Experienced DIY mechanics do take on compressor replacements, but the job demands specialized tools and A/C system knowledge — a recovery machine, a vacuum pump, and manifold gauges at minimum. Improper installation can lead to system failure and potential safety hazards.
The compressor ships with comprehensive installation guidelines in the box, so hand them to your shop along with the part. Skipping the flush or the evacuation is the fastest way to destroy a brand-new compressor. Make sure whoever does the work follows all five steps above.
Quality Checks, Standards, and Support
Each compressor is tested before it ships. With the direct-fit design and the 1-year warranty, the case for this part comes down to five points:
