OE 97701-0U500 — Compressor assembly for Hyundai / Kia

A supersession happens when the maker revises a compressor assembly and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit. Where we know a supersession chain for 97701-0U500 we list the current reference; ask our desk for written confirmation before a large order.

Incoming batches pass a dimensional check, a material look-up against the electrical & sensors specification, and a visual inspection for finish defects. Critical dimensions are measured per carton and the photographs are archived against the order number.

Aftermarket compressor assembly comes from tooling houses that hold the original drawings or licensed equivalents. KingMay sources from vetted factories and inspects each batch; the manufacturer name is available on request where your market requires origin documentation.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 97701-0U500; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.

Build-year coverage is listed row by row in the Applications table above. Where several generations share one number, the newer rows usually carry a revised suffix — compare the last four characters before buying, since a suffix change often means a different connector or bracket.
