NOTE:

On the Audi Q7 e-tron there are differences to the other vehicles additional components installed in the refrigerant circuit. For the layout of the different refrigerant circuits, refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT

Due to the layout, the high pressure side service connection in the refrigerant circuit is located on the Audi Q7 e-tron on the high pressure side service connection only when operating the refrigerant circuit as a high pressure heat pump. In the A/C system operation the pressure is the same as on the low pressure side service connection.

To discharge, evacuate, and charge the refrigerant circuit on the Audi Q7 e-tron the valves installed in the refrigerant circuit which are power operated are opened. Activate and open the valves through a routine stored in the Thermal Management Control Module -J1024-. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT (vehicle-specific repair information) and use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding" function.
