Test conditions
Test conditions
t  Atmospheric temperature of more than 15°C.
t  Radiator and condenser clean, if necessary, clean them.
t  The Poly-V belt for the operation of the compressor is in good condition, tense and pulley action to the compressor must be OK.
t  All air ducts, covers and seals OK and properly fitted.
t  The air flow through the dust and pollen filter is not obstructed by dirt.
t  The air intake (in fresh air and air recirculation position) should be clear of any obstruction or components.
t  The vehicle should not be in direct sunlight.
t  The engine must be warm.
t  The fault memory of the Climatronic control unit (01320) -J255-/Air conditioning control unit -J301- has been interrogated and cleared, the basic adjustment has been completed and the coding of the Climatronic control unit (01320) -J255-/Air conditioning control unit -J301- → Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051 has been checked.
t  The adaption of the Climatronic control unit (01320) -J255-/Air conditioning control unit -J301- → Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051 has been checked.
t  Open all instrument panel vents.
t  Bonnet closed
t  Settings on the Climatronic control unit (01320) -J255-:
–  Operation mode “Auto”.
–  Temperature preselection at lowest (for driver and passenger side).
–  Compressor activated (the function “Econ” is not activated).
t  Functions with engine running
–  The Coolant ventilator (01018-3433) -V7- is operating (the speed depends on the pressure in the refrigerant circuit and on the engine temperature).
–  The Fresh air turbine (01273-4124) -V2- is working at maximum.
–  The air conditioner switches to air recirculation mode (approx. 1 minute after the engine is started and the fresh air / air retention flaps close, the air recirculation flap opens, air is taken in by the Fresh air turbine (01273-4124) -V2- of the passenger compartment underneath the instrument panel / glove compartment).
t  Settings on the Air conditioning control unit -J301-
–  With the button “AC” pressed, the speed “1” of the Fresh air turbine (01273-4124) -V2- is selected along with the lowest possible temperature.
  Note!
If one of these conditions is not fulfilled for the test, check the fault memory, carry out a diagnosis of the actuators and then read the measurement block values → Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051.
