Installation

6. Remove the A/C pipes. Discard the O-rings. Install suitable blanking plugs.

7. Remove bolts (x3) and withdraw the A/C compressor.

8. Measure the amount of oil held in the A/C compressor.

This step is not necessary in the case of refrigerant loss.

1. Pour oil from the old A/C compressor into a suitable measuring container. Note the amount and discard oil.
2. Install blanking plugs to the old A/C compressor.
3. Note the volume of oil recovered with the refrigerant.

Installation

If replacing a faulty A/C compressor with internal mechanical damage, also replace the receiver drier which could also be contaminated with mechanical debris.

1. Fill the new A/C compressor with the correct amount of oil.
1. Remove the blanking plugs from the A/C compressor.
2. Fill the A/C compressor with same amount of oil that was recovered from the original A/C compressor, plus the amount recovered from the recovery equipment.
3. Install the blanking plugs to the A/C compressor.
2. Install the A/C compressor. Torque bolts (x4) to 23-27 Nm.

3. Install both A/C pipes. Use new O-rings. Torque bolts (x2) to 10-13 Nm.

4. Connect the wiring harness plug.
