AIR CON 01 or AIR CON 02
| IMPORTANT
To avoid all risk of damage to the systems, apply
the safety and cleanliness instructions and operation
recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning:
Precautions for repair, page 62A-1) . |
REMOVAL
I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION
- Position the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle:
Towing and lifting) (02A, Lifting equipment).
- Drain the refrigerant circuit using the refrigerant
charging station (see 62A, Air conditioning, Coolant
circuit Draining - Refilling, page 62A-11) .
- Disconnect the battery (see Battery : Removal -
Refitting) (80A, Battery).
II - OPERATION FOR REMOVAL OF PART
CONCERNED
- Remove the bolt (1) from the pipe union.
| WARNING
In order to avoid any refrigerant leaks, do not
damage (deform, twist, etc.) the pipe. |
- Disconnect the compressor - condenser connecting
pipe from the condenser.
| WARNING
To prevent moisture from entering the system,
place plugs on the cold loop components which
are open to the air. |
- Fit plugs into the openings.
M9R
- Remove the bolt (2) from the pipe union.
2TR
- Remove the bolt (3) from the pipe union.
- Disconnect the compressor - condenser connecting
pipe from the compressor.
- Fit plugs into the openings.
REFITTING
I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION
- Always replace the seals on the refrigerant fluid connecting
pipes.
- Lubricate the seals using recommended air conditioning
oil to make fitting easier.
II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART
CONCERNED
| WARNING
Do not remove the blanking plugs from each
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 on the side
concerned.
| 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. |
- Fit new seals to the refrigerant connecting pipes.
- Connect the compressor - condenser connecting
pipe on the compressor.
- Refit the bolt of the pipe union.
- Torque tighten the bolt of the compressor - condenser
connecting pipe union on the compressor
(4 N.m).
- Remove the plugs from the openings on the side
concerned.
- Fit new seals to the refrigerant connecting pipes.
- Connect the compressor - condenser connecting
pipe on the condenser.
- Refit the bolt of the pipe union.
- Torque tighten the bolt of the compressor - condenser
connecting pipe union on the condenser
(4 N.m).
III - FINAL OPERATION
- Connect the battery (see Battery : Removal - Refitting)
(80A, Battery).

Note:
When replacing a pipe, add 10 ml of the recommended
oil to the quantity of oil recovered. |
- Fill the refrigerant circuit using the refrigerant charging
station (see 62A, Air conditioning, Coolant
circuit Draining - Refilling, page 62A-11) .
- Set the control of the passenger compartment
blower unit to the maximum speed.
- Check that the air conditioning system is operating
correctly (see 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning:
Check, page 62A-6) .
- Check for leaks (see 62A, Air conditioning, Coolant
circuit check, page 62A-9) .
