Today we will discover the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the air conditioning compressor of the Volkswagen New Beetle 2.0 TSI. First, let's open the hood of the vehicle and start by loosening the serpentine belt tensioner with a socket or star wrench; then we will unscrew the bolts of the alternator to remove it, disconnecting its electrical wiring as shown in the video.

At this point, we will unscrew the bolts of the air conditioning compressor, replacing it with the new original one; we will check for the presence of gas and finally test the operation of the air conditioning after reassembling everything!
