I've been quoted approximately $1900 for a replacement A/C compressor and condenser.
Does this seem reasonable or should I get some other quotes?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Sounds on the high side.
Is that from an AC specialist or a VW dealership?2011 Skoda Octavia vRS TDI DSG wagon|Revo Stage 1|Race Blue|Leather|Dynamic Xenons w 6000K|9w7 BT|THA475 Amp+active sub|Whiteline ALK|RVC|

Why are you replacing it? I bought a control valve from eBay to get mine operating straight away rather than 5 minutes in, and am looking to install it this week with my A/C friend doing the gassing. I'll let you know if it helps.
My A/C works fine once it gets going, so I don't assume there's actually anything wrong with the compressor, as per many other threads on here and elsewhere. The control valve was $28.Richard

I'm guessing if they are replacing the condenser too the compressor has had a major failure sending metal through the system.Comment

Mine works about 5mins in, but is never that cold and then after a while it just starts blowing hot air again.
I drove my M3 over the weekend and the A/C is ice cold despite being almost 16yrs old...'18 MY18.5 MK3.5 Octavia vRS245

I had my compressor replaced yesterday.
I tried replacing the valve first but that didn't fix it for me.
$1k installed, icy cold straight away like it used to be.2011 Skoda Octavia vRS TDI DSG wagon|Revo Stage 1|Race Blue|Leather|Dynamic Xenons w 6000K|9w7 BT|THA475 Amp+active sub|Whiteline ALK|RVC|
