TRQ AC Condenser A/C Condenser and Receiver Drier - Direct Fit

Our review of the TRQ AC Condenser A/C Condenser and Receiver Drier finds it a practical OE replacement for owners of compatible Mercedes models who need a straightforward repair. It is best for DIYers and independent shops that want a direct fit part with clear OE reference numbers and a receiver drier included, and the biggest reason to buy is the complete assembly that replaces two components at once, reducing installation steps and parts sourcing. The review is based on fitment data, customer feedback on fit and leaks, and the included OE reference mapping.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement to simplify installation and reduce modification for compatible 2014-2022 Mercedes-Benz models.
• Complete Assembly: Includes both the A/C condenser and receiver drier so buyers replace the whole circuit component instead of separate parts.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Detailed compatibility information is provided so buyers can check fitment for models like C300, GLC300, E300 and several AMG variants.
• OE Reference Mapping: Matches OE reference numbers such as 0995000454 and 995000454 to help verify correct replacement.
• Aftermarket Compatibility: Lists alternate reference numbers (HVA00283, MB3030164 and others) to ease cross-referencing with service parts lists.
• Value Proposition: Customers commonly report good build quality and function for the price, making it a cost-effective repair option.

Who It's For

This assembly is aimed at Mercedes-Benz owners and independent mechanics who need a direct fit condenser and receiver drier for models between 2014 and 2022, including popular trims such as C300, GLC300 and several AMG variants. It suits people who prefer replacing the entire A/C component at once to avoid returning to the shop for a separate receiver drier.

It is less appropriate for owners who require factory-original branded parts from a dealer or who need guaranteed perfect mounting alignment; a minority of customers reported slight mounting point differences. If exact dealer matching or a factory warranty is essential, consider sourcing through the manufacturer or dealer channels.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Some buyers experienced minor mounting alignment issues, so professional fit verification is recommended.
