Just bought this online from a reputable seller on eBay but the date on the sticker makes me think it's almost expired. It is hard as a rock, and I believe it's supposed to be fluid. I don't read German but am very suspicious I got a piece of junk here.

This is no good. It is very fluid and soft and that is the expiration date.
Why not order directly from the dealer. I haggled with them and they sold them to me for $135 each as I got one for each car. All cars have OEM compressors that are designed to work with this one, but again, it must have that yellow valve at the top to be automatic.

Thank you, I have my recall service coming up and will discuss. In the meantime I will return this to the eBay seller and destroy his reputation if he doesnt return my money!

Skip the Porsche tax, order the Audi part number for the same thing. 8p0 012 619a
It can be had for $70. Even Porsche now says you will receive a bottle that says VW VAG
