They are superseded part numbers.
The sequence for the 3.0 tdi ASB is 4e0260805N-AB-AD-AJ-AP and currently BA
Its made by Denso and is a 6SEU14C compressor type (6 ribbed 100mm pulley).
The AQ model is the same compressor type and pully specs, but is from a 4.0tdi ASE engine. (and has been superseded by the BC variant).
So as they are both the same compressor type, oil capacity, pulley specs - what is the actual difference? There are loads of 6SEU14C compressors from all sorts of vehicles, even refurbs for not much money, so would these fit?
I'm wondering if the situation with compressors is akin to ride height sensors - the numerous part numbers for these are purely for the different connection arms. The sensor itself is the same across load of model & brands...maybe the bolt on bits are all different but can be transferred?
