A Direct Replacement for Your Cruze's Failed A/C Compressor

When the compressor in your 2016-2018 Chevrolet Cruze quits, the vents blow warm and the whole climate system stops doing its job. The A/C Compressor w/ PXC14 Compressor (OEM 39067789) is built to swap straight in and bring back factory-level cooling — no bracket modifications, no refrigerant lines to re-route.

This is the PXC14 type, the design specified for 2016-2018 Cruze models with the 1.4L L4 turbocharged LE2 engine (VIN M). It ships as a complete assembly with the clutch and pulley included, arrives in a factory box, and meets or exceeds OEM specifications.

Fitment: Will It Work on Your Cruze?

Match your vehicle against this list before you order. Every point below comes straight from the fitment data for this part.

If your Cruze is an earlier car — the 2012-2015 sedan — this compressor will not fit. That generation uses a different unit, part number 3913319, which we carry separately as the AC Compressor w/ Clutch for the 2012-2015 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan 4-Door (3913319, 1.4L). Ordering by exact year and engine code is what prevents returns.

Technical Specifications

Here is the full spec sheet for the compressor:

Two numbers matter most at the counter: the 109mm (4.29 inch) pulley diameter and the 5 groove count. Both must match your serpentine belt setup — and on a stock 2016-2018 Cruze with the LE2 engine, they do.

Key Features and Benefits

Direct Fit, Zero Modifications

The compressor lines up with the existing mounting points and refrigerant connections on 2016-2018 Cruze models. You reuse the brackets and lines you already have, which cuts installation time and removes the guesswork that comes with universal or "close enough" units.

Built to OEM Standards

This compressor is manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer specifications. In practice, that means the same performance and service life you expect from the factory part, at a replacement-part price.

Complete Assembly With Clutch

Clutch, pulley, coil — all included. You are not hunting for a separate clutch or hoping the one on your old compressor can be transferred. Everything arrives matched, straight from the factory box.

Cooling That Keeps Up

The PXC14 design compresses refrigerant efficiently, which is what produces fast cool-downs and steady cabin temperatures — even on extreme-temperature days when the system is working at its limit.

PXC14 vs. a Generic Replacement

Wondering why the exact-fit part is worth it? Here is how the PXC14 compressor compares with a generic replacement:

The pattern is simple: the exact-match part bolts in and works. The generic part asks you to adapt, and carries more risk.

Installation and Maintenance Basics

Here is the sequence a technician will follow:

1. Recover the refrigerant from the system using proper equipment
2. Remove the serpentine belt and disconnect the electrical connections
3. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the old compressor
4. Remove the mounting bolts and extract the old compressor
5. Install the new A/C Compressor w/ PXC14 Compressor
6. Reconnect all components and recharge the system
7. Perform leak testing and system verification

Do These While the System Is Open

• Replace the receiver/drier or accumulator whenever you install a new compressor
• Flush the system if the old compressor failed with metal contamination
• Use refrigerant oil compatible with R-134a systems
• Follow manufacturer torque specifications for all connections

Skip the drier, and any contamination left in the system can take out the new compressor too. That single step protects the part you just paid for.
