Complete Guide to A/C Compressor w/ PXC14 Compressor for Chevrolet Cruze 2016-2018

When the air conditioning in your 2016-2018 Chevrolet Cruze starts blowing warm, the compressor is the first part to suspect. It is the pump that moves refrigerant through the system, and once it fails, nothing else cools the cabin.

The A/C Compressor w/ PXC14 Compressor for Chevrolet Cruze 2016-2018 is a direct-fit replacement built for the 1.4L engine. This guide covers the specs that matter, the failure symptoms to watch for, and what installation involves.

Every number below comes straight from the product data, so you can match it against your car before you order.

The PXC14 compressor at a glance

The box below sums up fitment, key specs, and the problem this part solves.

Product overview and key features

The PXC14 compressor is engineered as a direct replacement for OEM part number 39067789. It fits 2016-2018 Chevrolet Cruze models with the 1.4L four-cylinder engine, in both the VIN M/LE2 and VIN P/LEX versions. Because it mirrors the factory unit, you swap it straight in.

Key benefits

  • Direct fit replacement — easy installation, no modifications required
  • OEM standard quality — meets or exceeds original manufacturer specifications
  • Enhanced cooling — restores factory-level air conditioning efficiency
  • 1-year manufacturer warranty — coverage against defects in materials and workmanship
  • Complete assembly — includes the clutch and all necessary components

Prefer to order by the OEM number? The same compressor also appears under part number 39067789 as the A/C Compressor w/ PXC14 Compressor for Chevrolet Cruze 2016-2018 39067789. Same specs, same warranty — just a different product page.

Warning signs your A/C compressor is failing

Compressors rarely fail without notice. Your Cruze usually gives one or more of these signals first.

  1. Unusual noises — grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds from the compressor area
  2. Lack of cooling — warm air from the vents even with the A/C switched on
  3. Refrigerant leaks — visible oil stains or refrigerant around the compressor
  4. Worn serpentine belt — premature belt wear caused by compressor pulley issues
  5. Electrical issues — the compressor clutch not engaging properly

One symptom on its own is worth investigating. Two or more together usually point straight at the compressor.

Do not sit on it. A failing A/C compressor can compromise the entire air conditioning system. If you notice any of the symptoms above, have the system inspected by a professional mechanic.

Fitment and installation

This compressor is a direct bolt-on replacement. Match these four points and it will fit your car.

  • Vehicle years: 2016, 2017, and 2018 Chevrolet Cruze
  • Engine: 1.4L 4-cylinder
  • VIN compatibility: both VIN M/LE2 and VIN P/LEX versions
  • Replacement type: direct fit — no modifications or extra parts required

Why professional installation is recommended

The compressor is direct-fit, but A/C work itself is not a simple swap. It requires specialized knowledge and equipment, and industry standards call for proper refrigerant handling and full system evacuation during a compressor replacement.

A certified technician will handle four things for you:

  • Proper refrigerant evacuation and recharge
  • Correct system pressure testing
  • Leak detection and prevention
  • Warranty compliance

Skipping these steps risks weak cooling, lost refrigerant, and a voided warranty. Paying for shop time protects all three.

How it compares to standard aftermarket units

Not every replacement compressor is built to the same standard. Here is where this one stands.

Feature Our PXC14 compressor Standard aftermarket
OEM compatibility Direct fit for 39067789 Varies by manufacturer
Warranty coverage 1 year, comprehensive Typically 90 days
Quality standards Meets or exceeds OEM specs Basic compliance
Installation ease No modifications needed May require adjustments
Technical support Full product support Limited support

Driving an older Cruze? Match the right part

The 2012-2015 Cruze sedan takes a different compressor, part number 3913319, so this 2016-2018 unit is not the one for those cars. If that is your model, order the AC Compressor w/ Clutch for 2012-2015 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan 4-Door 3913319 1.4L instead.

A 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Standard aftermarket units often carry only 90 days.

What is included in the box?

One complete assembly — package quantity is 1 unit — with the clutch and all necessary components already fitted. No brackets or adapters to buy separately.

Do I need special tools to install it?

The compressor bolts straight in, but A/C work requires refrigerant recovery equipment, manifold gauges, and a vacuum pump. Professional installation is recommended.

How do I know if my compressor needs replacement?

Watch for grinding, squealing, or rattling from the compressor area, warm air from the vents, refrigerant leaks, premature serpentine belt wear, or a clutch that will not engage. Any of these means the system should be inspected.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
