Engine Compartment Refrigerant Circuit Components, 2 Zone and 4 Zone

• Refrigerant must be extracted before hand using e.g. A/C Service Station (VAS 6007A).

• Environmentally hazardous draining of refrigerant is an offense punishable by law.

• The previously used service stations can still be used. Refer to catalog V.A.G tools.

• Safety measures when working on an evacuated refrigerant circuit. Refer to => [ Repairing and Handling Refrigerant ] Description and Operation, notes on repair work to vehicles with air conditioning and on handling refrigerant.

• To prevent the ingress of dampness all components of the refrigerant circuit which have been opened must be sealed with suitable plugs.

• The color coding of O-rings for the R134a refrigerant circuits has been discontinued. Colored and black O-rings are used.
