PHOBOOS A/C Compressor with Clutch for Kia Forte & Hyundai Elantra GT — VS14M, Pre‑filled R‑134a, Fast Cooling

PHOBOOS A/C Compressor with integrated clutch — a direct-replacement, prefilled VS14M unit engineered to restore strong, quiet air conditioning to compatible Kia Forte and Hyundai Elantra GT models.

If your vehicle’s air conditioning is weak, noisy, or has stopped engaging the compressor clutch, this PHOBOOS assembly is built as a like-for-like replacement for several OE part numbers. It arrives prefilled with PAG46 oil, is designed for R-134a refrigerant systems, and matches the original mounting and pulley specification so it bolts in with minimal modification. The unit aims to deliver fast cooling performance while keeping operational noise and vibration low.

Which cars will this compressor fit?

This compressor is intended for specific Kia and Hyundai models and engine/configuration combinations. Always compare the product images and specifications to your existing compressor and use your vehicle’s fitment tool before ordering to avoid incorrect parts.
