Volkswagen Touran Service Manual: Checking with Restrictor and Reservoir, with Internally Regulated A/C
Compressor
Note
Connecting service station. Refer to
→ Chapter "Connecting Service Station". |
Observe test requirements. Refer to
→ Chapter "Pressures, Checking". |
|
Bring engine speed up to 2000 RPM. |
|
Pay attention to the A/C service station pressure gauge. |
Note
Switching pressures for refrigerant circuit switches are
vehicle-specific.
|
Connection with valve for low-pressure switch or at
evaporator is only to be used for vehicles with no service
connection on low-pressure side and inaccessible connection at
compressor or accumulator (measurement accuracy). Only applies
to certain vehicles. |
Increasing from initial pressure (when connecting the
pressure gauges) to a maximum of 20 bar (290 psi). |
|
|
|
Decreasing from initial pressure (when connecting pressure
gauges) to the value in the graph. |
A - |
High pressure (measured at service connection) in bar (psi) |
B - |
Low pressure (measured at connection with valve at
compressor or accumulator) in bar (psi). |
C - |
Permissible tolerance range |
D - |
Low pressure (measured at connection with valve for
low-pressure switch or at service connection) in bar (psi) |
E - |
Permissible tolerance range |

|
Possible deviation from specification |
Possible cause of fault |
Corrective
action |
High pressure remains constant or increases only slightly
(above pressure with engine stopped), |
Low pressure quickly drops to value in graph or below
|
Required cooling output is not attained |
|
Not enough refrigerant in
refrigerant circuit |
|
Check for leaks and correct. |
|
Charge the refrigerant circuit. |
|
Low pressure in line with value in graph |
Required cooling output is not attained |
|
|
|
Low pressure too low (see graph) |
Required cooling output is not attained |
|
|
|
Note
If no malfunction is found with this complaint, flush (clean)
refrigerant circuit with refrigerant R134a. Refer to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing (Cleaning) with Refrigerant
R134a". If that is not possible in this workshop, flush the
refrigerant circuit with compressed air and remove moisture with
nitrogen. Refer to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing with Compressed Air and
Nitrogen". |
Possible deviation from specification |
Possible cause of fault |
Corrective
action |
High pressure only increases slightly above pressure with
engine stopped
|
Low pressure drops only slightly |
Required cooling output is not attained |
|
A/C compressor faulty. |
|
Flush (clean) refrigerant circuit. Refer to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing (Cleaning) with
Refrigerant R134a". |
|
Possible deviation from specification |
Possible cause of fault |
Corrective
action |
High pressure increases above specification |
Low pressure quickly drops to value in graph or below |
Required cooling output is not attained |
|
Constriction or
obstruction in refrigerant circuit |
|
Run hand over refrigerant circuit to check for differences
in temperature |
If difference in temperature is found at one component: |
|
Replace the hose or pipe if kinked or constricted. |
|
In the event of an obstruction, flush refrigerant circuit
with compressed air and nitrogen |
|
Repeat test if function is not OK. |
|
Flush (clean) refrigerant circuit. Refer to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing (Cleaning) with
Refrigerant R134a". |
|
High and low pressure normal at first After some time, |
high pressure increases above specification |
Low pressure quickly drops to value in graph or below, |
Required cooling output is no longer attained. |
|
Moisture in refrigerant
circuit |
|
Flush refrigerant circuit with compressed air and nitrogen. |
|
Repeat test if function is not OK. |
|
Flush (clean) refrigerant circuit. Refer to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing (Cleaning) with
Refrigerant R134a". |
|
Charge the refrigerant circuit. |
|
Low pressure too low (see graph) |
The required cooling performance is obtained |
|
A/C compressor faulty. |
|
Flush (clean) refrigerant circuit. Refer to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing (Cleaning) with
Refrigerant R134a". |
|
Note
For the malfunction "high pressure normal, low pressure too low",
note the following: |
This fault may cause the evaporator to ice up or the A/C Refrigerant
Low Pressure Switch -F73- to shut off the compressor although the amount
of refrigerant in the circuit is OK. |
Possible deviation from specification |
Possible cause of fault |
Corrective
action |
High pressure normal or too high |
Low pressure too high (see graph) |
A/C compressor noise (particularly after switch-on) |
Required cooling output is not attained |
|
Too much refrigerant in the
circuit. |
|
Extract refrigerant from the refrigerant circuit |
If quantity of refrigerant extracted roughly corresponds to
specified capacity: |
|
Replace the A/C compressor. |
If quantity of refrigerant extracted is substantially
greater than specified capacity: |
|
Charge the refrigerant circuit. |
|
Possible deviation from specification |
Possible cause of fault |
Corrective
action |
High and low pressure normal |
Required cooling output is not attained |
|
To much refrigerant oil in the
circuit. |
|
Discharge the refrigerant circuit. |
|
Flush (clean) refrigerant circuit. Refer to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing (Cleaning) with
Refrigerant R134a". |
|
High and low pressure normal |
A/C compressor noise (particularly after switch-on) |
The required cooling performance is obtained |
|
|
|
Note
Overfilling with refrigerant oil can occur in the event, for
example, the compressor has been replaced without adjusting the quantity
of refrigerant oil. |
If the A/C compressor is not replaced, the refrigerant oil should be
drained from the A/C compressor via the oil drain plug. Out of the
entire quantity of refrigerant oil, 50 grams should be put in the A/C
compressor and the rest in the refrigerant circuit. |
Note
Check cooling performance. The A/C system is functioning
correctly when the air flowing from the instrument panel vents
has a temperature of ...
