A/C Compressor Removing From Bracket

A/C Compressor Removing from Bracket

Removing

- Turn off the ignition.

- Remove the front noise insulation.

- Mark the direction of the operation of the ribbed belt.

- Remove the ribbed belt. Refer to - A -.

- Disconnect the electrical connector - A -.






- Remove the A/C compressor bolt - B -.

- Remove the A/C compressor and move it away from the engine only far enough without bending or pulling off the refrigerant hoses.

- Fasten the A/C compressor to the vehicle (for example, with a wire) without pulling or bending the refrigerant pipes.

Risk of damaging refrigerant lines and hoses.

• Do not stretch, kink or bend refrigerant lines and hoses.

• If the A/C compressor cannot be swiveled away enough from the engine, then the A/C compressor must be removed. Refer to => [ A/C Compressor ] A/C Compressor.

Installing

Installation is done is reverse order, observe the following:

- Before tightening the A/C compressor, check seating of both alignment bushings - A - in bracket or A/C compressor - B -.






• The alignment sleeves - A - have different styles (different lengths), make sure to use the correct style. Refer to Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA).

• Ensure bushings - A - are properly seated and contact surfaces are clean. Sockets installed incorrectly and dirty or damaged contact surfaces - C - on the bracket or A/C compressor can lead to alignment irregularities between the A/C compressor and engine. Alignment irregularities over operating time lead to damage to the ribbed belt or A/C compressor.

- Tighten the bolts - arrows - (tightening specification: 25 Nm).






- Connect electrical connector - 1 - on A/C Compressor Regulator Valve (N280).

- Mount the ribbed belt onto the ribbed belt pulley.

• After fastening the A/C compressor, check installation position of refrigerant lines, lines must be engaged in bracket (if installed, depending on engine).

• Check refrigerant lines and their bracket to ensure there is enough distance to the other components. Ensure there is also enough distance between belts, bracket and pulley.

- Check the Climatronic control module (J255) memory and erase any displayed malfunctions if necessary. Refer to the Vehicle diagnostic tester in "Guided Fault Finding".
