Connections With Primary Sealing Valve (Ball Valve)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi SQ5, 2017 Audi Q5, 2016 Audi SQ5, 2016 Audi Q5, and 2015 Audi SQ5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:

Before unscrewing the connection, connect the service station and extract the refrigerant. Refrigerant circuit must be empty to avoid possible injury.

Connection with High-Pressure Valve

  1. Socket with internal thread (soldered in)
  2. O-ring (version and identification: black or colored)
  3. Valve with an external thread and groove for the O-ring (identification: ball valve)
  4. Cap seal
  5. Sealing cap
NOTE:

After connecting, install the hand wheel for the service coupling just far enough into the quick-release coupling adapter until the valve is securely opened inside the service connection (pay attention to the pressure gauge, do not put too much pressure on the valve).

For removing and installing the valve -3- when the refrigerant circuit is evacuated, for example, use an adapter from the Refrigerant Sockets T10364.

There are different versions of these valves (with internal or external threads). Therefore the tightening specifications can also differ. The valves -3- with an M12 x 1.5 mm external thread have a tightening specification of 9 Nm ±1 Nm.

There are different versions of these valves and their respective caps. Be sure to use the correct valve version and the correct sealing cap allocation.

Connection with Low-Pressure Valve

For removing and installing the valve -3- when the refrigerant circuit is evacuated, for example, use an adapter from the Refrigerant Sockets T10364.

There are different versions of these valves (with internal or external threads). Therefore the tightening specifications can also differ. The currently used valves -3- with an M10 x 1.25 mm internal thread have a tightening specification of 9 Nm ± 1 Nm.

There are different versions of these valves and their respective caps. Be sure to use the correct valve version and the correct sealing cap allocation.
