File in Group 10

Number 1

Date Feb., 83
SUBJECT: A/C Moan 1982 & 1983 Skyhawk Equipped With A 1.8L Engine (VIN Code 0)


The lower air conditioning compressor bracket retaining bolt hole in the cylinder block may not have been drilled deep enough on some engines. This could result in an insufficient clamping load of the A/C compressor bracket, causing a moan condition.



If this condition is encountered, a 2.5 mm (.100 in.) flat washer should be installed in the location shown in the Illustration.
