4 and 6 Cylinder

A/C Compressor, Removing From Bracket

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Torque Wrench (V.A.G 1331/) (or 5-50 Nm equivalent)

• Locking Pin (T10060 A)

• The A/C compressor can be removed and installed at the bracket without opening the refrigerant lines.

• The following describes removing and installing the compressor for a vehicles with a 2.0L TFSI engine and a 3.2L MPI engine, with a "Denso" compressor type "6 SEU 14". On vehicles with different engine or a different A/C compressor, slight changes may result (depending on engine, additional assemblies may need to be removed or loosened)

• Do not discharge the refrigerant circuit, do not remove refrigerant hoses and lines from the A/C compressor.

• Do not unfasten refrigerant pipes and corresponding clamps.

• After removing the A/C compressor, tie it to the vehicle with wire. Do not let it hang by the refrigerant lines. Refer to=> [ Securing A/C compressor to body ] A/C Compressor, Removing From Bracket.

• Before removing, mark direction of operation of ribbed belt with chalk or felt-tipped pen. Running a used belt in the opposite direction could destroy it.

• Different A/C compressors may be installed depending on engine and country variant. Refer to Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA).

Removing

- Remove upper engine cover.

- Mark running direction of ribbed belt (illustration shows arrangement for a 4 cylinder engine).






- Remove ribbed belt.

- Remove center noise insulation.

- Remove the right noise insulation. (for example, on a 2.0L TFSI vehicle).

- Remove the frame for the noise insulation, if equipped (for example, currently on the Audi TT Roadster).

- Remove the right air guide hose (air guide pipe from the turbocharger to the charge air cooler).

- Disconnect electrical connector - 1 - on A/C Compressor Regulator Valve (N280).






- Remove compressor bolts - arrow -.

- Remove the A/C compressor and tie it to the vehicle with a wire. Refer to=> [ Securing A/C compressor to body ] A/C Compressor, Removing From Bracket.

Installing

Installation is done is reverse order, observe the following:

- Before securing A/C compressor, check seating of both alignment bushings - arrows - in bracket or A/C compressor.






• This illustration shows the version of the A/C compressor with pulley that is installed on the Audi TT.

- Tighten bolts - arrows - (tightening torque 25 Nm).






- Connect electrical connector - 1 - on A/C Compressor Regulator Valve (N280).

- Mount the ribbed belt onto the pulley.

• After fastening the A/C compressor, check installation position of refrigerant lines, lines must be engaged in bracket (if installed, depending on engine).

• Check refrigerant lines and their bracket to ensure there is enough distance to the other components. Ensure there is also enough distance between belts, bracket and pulley.
