Vehicles with 4 or 6 cyl. engine (compressor drive via a belt): Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 17 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi S4, 2009 Audi A4, 2008 Audi S4, 2008 Audi RS 4, and 2008 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

The compressor can be removed from the bracket and reinstalled without opening up the refrigerant lines.
Do not drain the refrigerant circuit, do not remove refrigerant hoses and lines at the compressor.
After removing, use wire to attach the compressor to the longitudinal member. Never leave hanging from refrigerant lines.
Before removing, mark the direction of the ribbed belt with chalk or a felt-tip pen. Running a used belt in the opposite direction could destroy it.
Different compressors are installed depending on engine and country version (installed to right or left of engine, 6-cyl. engine, cold or hot country).
