Preliminary work
Remove engine guard.

Removing the compressor-condenser line (A - B)

ATTENTION:
Danger of injury from contact with the refrigerant.
- Observe safety regulations when working with refrigerant.

NOTE: Removal and installation is described for a Turbo vehicle. There is additional hosing on the graphics which is not installed on the naturally-aspirated engine.
