Removal and Replacement

Removing And Installing The Fluid Tank

Removing fluid tank
1. Remove the cover above the heating/air-conditioning system and fluid tank.
2. Remove the refrigerant by suction using the service unit.







3. Undo the -hose clamp- on the fluid tank. Undo -both hexagon-head bolts- on the fluid tank and remove the fluid tank upwards. Immediately close lines with plugs so that they are air-tight.

Installing fluid tank

INFORMATION:
- The fluid tank must be replaced if the system suffers from operational faults (e.g. accident damage or air-conditioning system depressurised).
- Used refrigerant oil extracted from a previously run A/C unit must not be re-used.

1. Do not remove plugs until shortly before installation. Replace the O-ring on the branch piece and on the refrigerant line, and wet the new O-rings with refrigerant oil.
2. Tighten both hexagon-head bolts on the fluid tank.

Tightening torque: 6 Nm (4.5 ftlb.)

3. Determine the quantity of the refrigerant oil and fill up again with refrigerant oil (volume removed by suction + 30 cm(cubed)).
