A/C Compressor Sub-Assembly

A/C Compressor Sub-Assembly

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

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

• The auxiliary component bracket for A/C compressor and ancillary parts can be removed and installed without opening the refrigerant circuit.

• To remove ribbed belt:

• Position of ribbed V-belt => [ Ribbed Belt Routing ]





1 Ribbed belt

2 Ribbed belt pulley - refrigerant pump

3 Tensioning roller

4 Auxiliary component bracket for generator and A/C compressor

• No. on auxiliary component bracket (038 903 143 AF )

Removing

- Loosen A/C compressor, unscrew hex-bolts - 9 -. Remove A/C compressor from auxiliary component bracket and secure to body with appropriate material (e.g. welding wire) => [ Securing A/C compressor to body ]

- Remove bolts from auxiliary component bracket.

When installing, note tightening sequence => [ Auxiliary component bracket tightening sequence ]

10 Fitting bolt

• 25 Nm

Securing A/C compressor to body





If A/C compressor is removed and refrigerant circuit not opened, A/C compressor must be secure to body using appropriate material, a welding wire for example.

Ensure refrigerant hoses remain on A/C compressor without tension for this.

• When installing the belt ensure it is correctly seated in the ribbed belt pulley.

• Last, install ribbed belt over ribbed belt pulley of A/C compressor.

Auxiliary component bracket tightening sequence





• Bolts - 1 - and - 2 - are fitting bolts.

- First tighten bolts in 1 to 5 sequence by hand.

- Then tighten bolts in 1 to 5 sequence to 25 Nm.
