CONDENSER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING, Vehicles with 2.0L, 3.0L and 3.2L: Installing
Installation is done is reverse order, observe the following:
The removed condenser contains refrigerant oil that must be returned to the refrigerant circuit (with the new condenser). Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT COMPONENTS, REPLACING (Refrigerant R134a, Servicing; Refrigerant Circuit Components, Replacing).
There are different versions of the condenser. Ensure the correct version and allocation before installing. Refer to CONDENSER, CHECKING VERSION .
The refrigerant circuit capacity depends on which version of the condenser is installed. Refer to REFRIGERANT R134A CAPACITIES, REFRIGERANT OIL AND APPROVED REFRIGERANT OILS (Refrigerant R134a, Servicing; Refrigerant R134a Capacities, Refrigerant Oil and Approved Refrigerant Oil).
-- Install the refrigerant lines on the condenser. Refer to REFRIGERANT LINES, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING AT CONDENSER .
Vehicles with a power steering oil cooler:
-- Install the power steering oil cooler cooling coil. Refer to HYDRAULIC FLUID COOLER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
All:
-- Install the cover on the lock carrier. Refer to LOCK CARRIER COVER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Evacuate the refrigerant circuit and fill it. Refer to USING SERVICE STATION . For additional information, refer to OVERVIEW - REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, NOT OPENING THE REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, VEHICLES WITHOUT HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM and OVERVIEW - REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, OPENING THE REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, VEHICLES WITHOUT HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM (Refrigerant R134a, Servicing; Refrigerant Circuit, Using Service Station).
-- Install the remaining removed components.
-- Turn on the ignition.
-- Check the DTC memory for the Climatronic Control Module -- display and control head and erase any displayed malfunctions, if necessary using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding " function.
-- Operate the A/C system after filling the refrigerant circuit. Refer to A/C SYSTEM, STARTING OPERATION AFTER FILLING REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT .
Observe the information regarding operating the A/C system after filling. Refer to A/C SYSTEM, OPERATING AFTER CHARGING , (Refrigerant R134a, Servicing; A/C System, General Information). After charging the A/C system before activating the A/C system.
