Replacing compressor pulley
  Note
t  Various pulley designs are fitted depending on the type of compressor and the engine design → Parts List.
t  Detaching and re-attaching pulley from/onto compressor → Chapter
   
1 - Bolt
q   Replace
q   Tightening torque 20 Nm
q   Loosening and tightening → Chapter
  Note
t  Use the bolt which has been removed in order to adjust the gap.
t  Insert the new bolt only after the gap has been adjusted (because of thread-locking compound).
2 - Drive plate
q   Different versions → Parts List
q   Detaching and attaching → Chapter
q   Releases in the event of excessive torque (e.g. compressor stiff)
q   Checking and adjusting gap between rubber element of pulley and drive plate → Chapter
3 - Shims for adjusting the gap width
q   Checking and adjusting gap between rubber element of pulley and drive plate → Chapter
q   Gap 0.5 + / - 0.2 mm
q   Use up to 3 shims
  Note
t  If the gap is still too small after installing up to 3 shims, check the pulley and the flange on the compressor.
t  The gap must be within the tolerance over the entire circumference of the drive plate circumference (all 4 measuring locations).
4 - Circlip
q   Replace
q   Ensure correct positioning (flat side facing compressor)
q   Removing and installing → Chapter
5 - Pulley
q   The rubber element of the pulley releases in the event of excessive torque (e.g. stiff compressor) and the pulley turns without driving the compressor.
q   Different versions → Parts List
q   Detaching and attaching → Chapter
q   Checking and adjusting gap between rubber element of pulley and drive plate → Chapter
  Note
Under certain conditions (e.g. rough engine running), the rubber element of the pulley may release when there is no fault in the compressor or refrigerant circuit.
6 - Compressor
q   Different models are fitted depending on the engine (and the country version of the vehicle). → Parts List
q   Clean the flange of the compressor before fitting the pulley.
