A/C Service Station, Discharging

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg, 2013 Volkswagen Touareg, 2012 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

If it is necessary to discharge the A/C Service Station (for example, because contaminated refrigerant was extracted), always replace all filters and dryers. Only remove the filters and dryers from their air-tight packaging immediately before installing them to prevent moisture from entering.

Refrigerant containers filled with contaminated used refrigerant are referred to as "Recycling containers".

Always evacuate recycling cylinders before first charging with refrigerant. Refrigerant cylinders in which there is air must not be filled with refrigerant.

Different refrigerant types must not be mixed together. Refrigerant mixtures cannot be reprocessed but must be disposed of. If there is any doubt about the composition of the contents of the container, the refrigerant recycling company is to be informed accordingly.
