Adapter For Assembling Flushing Circuit: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 19 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S5, 2017 Audi A5 Quattro, 2016 Audi S5, 2016 Audi A5 Quattro, and 2015 Audi S5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Various adapters which are required to connect the A/C service station to the refrigerant circuit for flushing and to bridge the removed receiver/dryer or reservoir and expansion valve (specific to vehicle) are in the following table.
- Using a charge hose with 5/8 -18 UNF connections (short version, for example Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1 - Adapter 31:VAS6338/31 ), connect the two adapters (contained in Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1:VAS6338/1 ) which have been installed for the removed reservoir or receiver/dryer.
- If a flushed refrigerant circuit is not reassembled immediately after flushing, leave the adapters on the connections and seal the connections on the adapters using Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1 - Adapter 30:VAS6338/30 (from Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1:VAS6338/1 ).
- Depending on the A/C compressor version and the date of manufacture, different connection and sealing techniques can be found on the refrigerant circuit. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific repair information).
- Beginning from production year 2006, the name of the "Zexel" A/C compressor was changed from "Zexel" to "Valeo".
