Repairing Zexel air conditioner magnetic couplingN25
   
Repairing Zexel air conditioner magnetic coupling -N25-
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Pin wrench -VAS 3212-
t  Magnetic coupling puller -V.A.G 1719/-
t  Assembly tool for magnetic coupling -1719/1-
t  Assembly tool for magnetic coupling -1719/2-
t  Torque wrench -V.A.G 1331/- (5...50 Nm)

Not illustrated:
t  Commercially available two-arm puller e.g. Kukko 20-10 mm with 100 mm long hooks.
t  Commercially available feeler gauges
   
  Note
t  It is not necessary to open the refrigerant circuit to repair the air conditioning system magnetic coupling -N25-.
t  Repairs on air conditioning system magnetic coupling -N25- with the compressor still installed should be performed only as an exception.
t  If the air conditioner compressor has to be removed, take the vehicle to a workshop with suitable equipment and specially trained mechanics because the refrigerant must be extracted using, for example, air conditioning service station -VAS 6007A-.
