REFITTING
I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION
- Always replace the seals of the connecting pipes of
the condenser.
- Lubricate the seals using recommended air conditioning
oil to make fitting easier.
II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART
CONCERNED
- Refit:

component until the last moment.
Also, do not remove the components from their
packaging until they are to be fitted to the vehicle. |
- Remove the plugs from the openings.
| WARNING
To avoid any leaks, check that the pipe surface is
sound before positioning the new seal. The surface
must be clean and scratch free. |

- Connect the compressor - condenser connecting
pipe to the condenser.
- Refit the bolt on the pipe union.
- Torque tighten the bolt of the compressor - condenser
connecting pipe union (4 N.m).
- Connect the expansion valve - condenser connecting
pipe to the condenser.
- Refit the bolt on the pipe union.
- Torque tighten the bolt of the expansion valve -
condenser connecting pipe union (4 N.m).
III - FINAL OPERATION
- Refit:
- the front air deflector,
