Removing the condenser

WARNING: Danger of injury. Safety regulations must be strictly observed when working on air-conditioned vehicles and dealing with refrigerant.












1. Remove the support plate under the radiator. To do this, loosen the four fastening screws.







2. Unscrew the fastening screws -A and B- for the air-conditioning lines to the condenser, remove the lines and close them off so that they are air-tight.







3. Unscrew both fastening screws -C- for securing condenser to the coolant radiator (left direction of travel).







4. Unscrew the fastening screw -D- (left direction of travel) for securing power steering radiator lines to coolant radiator.







5. Lift both locks for the ATF cooler and air-conditioning condenser with a screwdriver -1- and push down -arrow-.







6. Detach power steering radiator from condenser -Arrow A- and remove from the support -Arrow B-.







7. Carefully pull the ATF cooler -3- to the front, making sure that the lines do not become deformed.

INFORMATION: Fix the remaining radiators in the installation position using tie wraps.

8. Carefully pull the condenser -2- upwards and out, making sure not to damage the other radiators with the edges and corners of the condenser.

Installing the condenser







1. Carefully pull the ATF radiator -3- to the front, making sure that the lines do not become deformed.
2. Carefully insert the condenser -2- between the radiators -1, 3, 4- , making sure not to damage the other radiator on the edges and corners of the condenser.







3. Engage the condenser and the ATF cooler in the mounts and clip in both retaining clips on the condenser and on the coolant radiator.







4. Insert the power steering radiator in the support on the condenser -Arrow A- and engage the lines in the support -Arrow B-.







5. Screw in the fastening screw -Arrow D- (left direction of travel) for securing power steering radiator lines to coolant radiator. - Tightening torque: 6 ftlb..







6. Screw in both fastening screws -C- for securing condenser to the coolant radiator (left direction of travel). - Tightening torque: 6 ftlb..







7. Position the refrigerant lines and attach them to the condenser with the fastening screws -A and B-. - Tightening torque: 9 ftlb.

Subsequent work
1. Fill in refrigerant.
2. Install lock carrier.
3. Fit engine guard.
