Let me know if you need the part and I will arrange it for you.
I did get it done from an FNG near Church Gate. It cost me over 35k for the replacement of the compressor, condenser and some system pipes. Skoda mentioned a figure close to 70k, off the record.
I hope this lasts for a few years!!!

After spending almost a month and several visits\calls to different AC repair centers ranging from Lajpat Nagar, Mayapuri to Gurgaon, I was convinced that my AC compressor had gone Kaput and there was no option to save money but to go for a new compressor
Team-bhp forums were of great help as I could believe that Laura compressor would generally fail around 60K odo reading. It was clear that the damage was somewhere around Rs 25-30K just for the compressor replacement, gas, fitment, etc. Luckily my condenser was in good state and didn't need a replacement.

I decided that I will look for other branded AC compressor replacements apart from Sanden as maximum Lauras were seeing this AC problem at this stage and the company was fitting Sanden compressor. After extensive research I had options of using Valeo, Delphi and Sanden. Somehow I couldn't find the availability of Valeo in Delhi so I was to choose from Delhi and Sanden only. Having heard and witnessed this compressor problem at 60K, I didn't want to repeat Sanden if I was to invest this much and keep the car for long (at least 5 years).

I got Delphi from Kashmere gate for Rs 15,500 with bill and got it fitted at a local AC mechanic in Gurgaon. It feels so nice now and had a big relief that I got everything done within Rs 20K!
Hi Rajat,
Where did you get the compressor from in Kashmiri gate? And where did you get the fitting done in Gurgaon? I stay in Gurgaon and have a Jetta 2014 model which is giving me an AC problem, which just cools and doesn't works nicely.
Also, where do your get your spares etc. in Gurgaon?
And did you compressor work fine for the follow years?
