HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: COMPRESSOR: INSTALLATION
1. ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL
(a) When replacing the cooler compressor assembly with a new one, gradually discharge the inert gas (helium) from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil from the vents indicated by the arrows in the illustration before installation.
HINT
The drain bolt and washer can be reused.
Standard:
(Oil capacity inside a new compressor and pulley: 130 + 15 cc (4.6 + 0.51 fl.oz.)) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor and pulley) = (Oil amount to be removed when replacing the compressor)
NOTICE:
* If a new compressor is installed without removing some oil, due to the oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle, the oil amount will be too large. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigeration system failure.
* If the volume of oil remaining in the removed compressor is too small, check for oil leakage.
* Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent for compressor oil.
2. INSTALL COMPRESSOR AND PULLEY
(a) Install the bracket with the bolt.
(b) Using an E8 "TORX" socket, install the compressor and pulley with the stud bolts.
Torque : 10 Nm (102 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf)
(c) Install the compressor and pulley with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
Torque : 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf)
HINT
Tighten the bolts in the order shown in the illustration to install the compressor.
3. INSTALL DISCHARGE HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the vinyl tape attached to the hose.
(b) Apply sufficient compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the compressor and pulley.
Compressor oil:
ND-OIL 8 or equivalent
(c) Install the O-ring onto the discharge hose sub-assembly.
(d) Install the discharge hose sub-assembly onto the compressor and pulley with the bolt.
Torque : 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf)
4. INSTALL NO. 1 COOLER REFRIGERANT SUCTION HOSE
(a) Remove the vinyl tape attached to the hose.
(b) Apply sufficient compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the compressor and pulley.
Compressor oil:
ND-OIL 8 or equivalent
(c) Install the O-ring onto the No. 1 cooler refrigerant suction hose.
(d) Install the No. 1 cooler refrigerant suction hose onto the compressor and pulley with the bolt.
Torque : 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf)
(e) Install the 2 clamps and connector.
