Refrigerant Line A
Refrigerant Line A
Removing
- Drain the refrigerant circuit.
- If necessary, remove the dome brace (not present in all vehicles).
- Remove the air intake unit (not necessary on vehicles with right-hand steering) => [ Air Intake Unit ] Air Intake Unit.
- Remove the coolant pipe to the A/C unit heat exchanger (e.g. for Audi RS6).
• Depending on the engine, the coolant line from the A/C unit heat exchanger to the engine may also be routed through the grommet - D - (e.g. Audi RS6). For this reason, the coolant pipe has to be removed for these vehicles.
- Remove the refrigerant lines from the connection to the A/C unit => [ Refrigerant Lines at A/C Unit ] Refrigerant Lines at A/C Unit.
- Open the screw connection in the refrigerant line (between - A - and - B -) => [ Restrictor ] Restrictor (remove and install restrictor).
- Release refrigerant line - A - from grommet - D - and remove the refrigerant line.
Installing
Installation is carried out in the reverse order, when doing this note the following:
- Coat O-ring seals lightly with refrigerant oil before installing => [ Refrigerant Circuit O-Ring Seals ] Refrigerant Circuit O-Ring Seals.
- Install the refrigerant lines from the connection to the A/C unit => [ Refrigerant Lines at A/C Unit ] Refrigerant Lines at A/C Unit.
- Following attachment, check routing of refrigerant pipes. They must be inserted in holders provided and not make contact with other components.
- Install the remaining removed components again in reverse order.
- Evacuate and refrigerant circuit after assembly and refill.
- Operate the A/C system after filling the refrigerant circuit => [ A/C System, Operating after Filling Refrigerant Circuit ] A/C System, Operating after Filling Refrigerant Circuit
- Fill coolant and bleed coolant circuit (e.g. for Audi RS6).
- Check the DTC memory for the Climatronic Control Module (J255) A/C control head and erase any faults displayed if necessary.
