Volkswagen Touran Service Manual: Refrigerant Circuit, General Precautions
Follow the instructions for the workplace. They should be
displayed in the workplace. |
Ensure absolute cleanliness when working. |
Wear work clothing, safety goggles and gloves when working
with refrigerant and nitrogen. |
Turn on the exhaust gas ventilation system |
Use service station to discharge refrigerant circuit, only
then open screw connections and replace malfunctioning
components. |
Use caps to seal off opened assemblies and hoses to prevent
ingress of moisture and dirt. |
Make exclusive use of tools and materials intended for
refrigerant R134a. |
Be sure to close the container to prevent the refrigerant
from absorbing moisture from the air. |
|
Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing with Compressed Air and
Nitrogen. Refer to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing with Compressed Air and
Nitrogen". |
|
Flush the refrigerant circuit with R134a refrigerant. Refer
to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing (Cleaning) with
Refrigerant R134a" |
On vehicles with A/C compressor without magnetic clutch: |
Note
The engine should only be started after assembling the
refrigerant circuit. |
If possible start engine only with a filled refrigerant
circuit. |
The A/C compressor is always driven by the ribbed belt
pulley/torsion elastic clutch. It does not have a magnetic
clutch. |
If an A/C compressor locks-up the overload protection for
the A/C compressor shaft is triggered. If no bumps are visible
on the ribbed belt pulley/overload protection, the A/C
compressor may be blocked. Another indicator is abraded rubber
material in the area of the ribbed belt pulley/overload
protection. |
The A/C compressor is equipped with a protected oil supply,
this prevents A/C compressor damage in the event that the system
is empty. This means that approximately 40 to 50 cm3
of refrigerant oil remains in the A/C compressor. |
The engine may only be started when the refrigerant circuit
is installed correctly. For example; if the refrigerant pipes
are not connected to A/C compressor, when the engine is running
the A/C compressor may heat up (via internal heat generation) so
much that the A/C compressor will be damaged. |
A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- is not activated when
the refrigerant circuit is empty and the A/C compressor idles
with the engine. |
If it is necessary to start the engine with a discharged
refrigerant circuit: |
Refrigerant circuit must be fully assembled. |
At least a quarter of the prescribed refrigerant oil must be
in the A/C compressor. |
Do not let the engine RPM go above 2,000. |
The engine should run less than 10 minutes. |
Only O-rings that are resistant to refrigerant R134a and
refrigerant oil must be installed. Color coding of O-rings is no
longer employed. Colored and black O-rings are used. |
Ensure inner diameter on seals used is correct. |
Refer to the Parts Catalog. |
O-rings may only be used once. |
Before installing, coat the O-rings lightly with refrigerant
oil (PAG oil). |
Note
When flushing components with compressed air and nitrogen,
always extract the gas mixture escaping from the components with
suitable extraction units (workshop extraction system). |
After engine all service work, screw sealing caps (with
seals) onto all connections with valve and service connections. |
Before starting up A/C system. Pay attention to the
vehicle-specific filling capacities. Refer to
→ Rep. Gr.87. |
Do not fill refrigerant, extract the refrigerant present and
refill the system. |
After Charging A/C System |
|
After installing a new A/C compressor or fresh refrigerant
oil has been filled into compressor (e.g. after blowing through
the A/C system), turn ribbed belt pulley of A/C compressor 10
rotations by hand before starting the engine. This prevents
damage to the A/C compressor. |
|
For 5-cylinder and 10-cylinder diesel engines, rotate A/C
compressor 10 rotations by hand at overload protection. Then
install A/C compressor. This prevents damage to the A/C
compressor. |
|
Start the engine with the A/C turned off (A/C Clutch -N25-
and A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- are not actuated). |
|
Following engine idling speed stabilization, switch on A/C
compressor and run it for at least 10 minutes at idling speed
with maximum cooling output. |

Service Station)
