Aeagle AC Compressor for Hyundai Accent 1.6 (2012–2017) — Automatic Climate Control, PAG46 Prefilled

Aeagle AC compressor engineered to replace the factory unit in Hyundai Accent 1.6 (2012–2017) and compatible Kia Rio 1.6 models with automatic temperature control systems.

This direct-fit air conditioning compressor from Aeagle is designed as a drop-in replacement for specific Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio models that use automatic temperature control (not compatible with manual A/C systems). Built to OE-like specifications, the unit ships prefilled with PAG46 oil and is intended to restore cooling performance while minimizing noise. Before installation, confirm vehicle compatibility and prepare the HVAC components to ensure a smooth swap.

Which cars will this Aeagle compressor work in?

The compressor fits Hyundai Accent 1.6L model years 2012 through 2017 and select Kia Rio 1.6L models from the same years when the vehicle is equipped with automatic temperature control. It replaces several OEM part numbers commonly used across these applications.

• Compatible with: Hyundai Accent 1.6 (2012–2017) — automatic climate control only
• Also fits: Kia Rio 1.6 (2012–2017) when equipped with automatic temperature control
• Replaces part numbers: 178324, 7512957, 977011R100, TEM276074, 276074 and related cross-references

How does this compressor compare to the original equipment?

Aeagle engineered this compressor to match the form, fit and function of the factory unit, focusing on durability and lower operating noise. Materials and manufacturing tolerances aim to deliver performance consistent with the original part while offering a cost-effective aftermarket option.

• OE-style mounting points and connector interfaces for straightforward replacement
• Designed to reduce vibration and operational noise versus older, worn compressors
• Prefilled with 160 mL of PAG46 refrigerant oil for immediate installation

What are the technical details and installation considerations?

The Aeagle compressor uses a 6-groove pulley and a 125 mm pulley diameter; it comes precharged with the specified lubricant and is built for automatic climate systems only. Proper HVAC preparation and system cleaning are important to avoid premature wear of the new compressor.

• Oil type: PAG46; oil prefilled: 160 mL
• Pulley grooves: 6; pulley diameter: 125 mm
• Important: not compatible with manual temperature control systems
• Installation tip: flush A/C lines, verify condenser and cooling fan operation before fitting

Will I need any extra parts or service steps before fitting this compressor?

To protect the new unit and ensure long service life, inspect and, if needed, replace receiver-drier/accumulator, expansion valve/orifice tube and any worn hoses. Flushing the A/C lines and checking for blockages or failed components prevents contaminants from damaging the replacement compressor.

• Recommended: replace drier/accumulator and inspect expansion valve
• Flush A/C lines to remove debris and residual contaminants
• Confirm clutch engagement, condenser airflow and fan operation before charging system

Who is this for: The Aeagle AC compressor is intended for Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio owners (2012–2017) who have automatic temperature control systems and need a reliable replacement component that matches OEM dimensions and performance. It’s best for DIY mechanics and professional installers who will prepare the A/C system properly before installation and want a quieter, OE-style compressor without sourcing an original factory unit.
