| Detaching air conditioner compressor from holder/attaching (vehicles with 5-cyl. engine) |
Note | t
| The air conditioner compressor can be detached from the holder for the ancillaries and re-attached without opening up the refrigerant lines. |
| t
| The holder for the ancillaries (for the air conditioner compressor and associated components) can be removed and installed without having to open the refrigerant circuit. |
| t
| Vehicles with a 5-cyl. engine have 2 poly V-belts attached to the air conditioner compressor. The air conditioner compressor is therefore provided with a double-belt pulley. For removal of the poly V-belts, refer to → Engine, mechanics; Rep. gr.13. |
| t
| In the following a description is given of the detachment and attachment of the air conditioner compressor in a vehicle with a 2.5 l TFSI engine with a „Sanden“ air conditioner compressor. There may be differences for vehicles with other engines or a different air conditioner compressor (depending on the engine, it may also be necessary to remove or unfasten certain ancillaries). |
| t
| Do not drain the refrigerant circuit, do not detach refrigerant hoses and refrigerant lines from the air conditioner compressor. |
| t
| Do not unfasten the refrigerant lines and the corresponding clamps. |
| t
| After detaching the air conditioner compressor, secure it with a piece of wire for example to the vehicle. Do not leave it suspended from the refrigerant lines → Fig. |
| t
| Before removing, mark the direction of the poly V-belts with chalk or a felt-tip pen. Running a used belt in the opposite direction could destroy it. |
