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.

Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

NOTE:

There is a quantity of refrigerant oil in the removed A/C compressor, therefore observe the notes for replacing the A/C compressor. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT COMPONENTS, REPLACING and A/C COMPRESSOR, REMOVING AND INSTALLING, MECHANICALLY-DRIVEN A/C COMPRESSOR, Vehicles with 2.0L Gas (Refrigerant R134a, Servicing; Refrigerant Circuit Components, Replacing).

Before installing the A/C compressor. Refer to A/C SYSTEM, GENERAL INFORMATION (Refrigerant R134a, Servicing; A/C System, General Information).

-- Turn the A/C compressor by hand 10 rotations before installing the ribbed belt on the pulley (to prevent damage to the compressor when it is first switched on).

-- Install the A/C compressor on the bracket. Refer to A/C COMPRESSOR, REMOVING AND INSTALLING ON BRACKET .

-- Attach the refrigerant lines to the A/C compressor. Refer to REFRIGERANT LINES, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING AT A/C COMPRESSOR .

NOTE:

Coat the O-ring seals lightly with refrigerant oil prior to installation. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT SEALS .

Rotating will prevent damage to the A/C compressor when starting the engine for the first from refrigerant oil that may be located in the compression chamber.

-- Evacuate the refrigerant circuit and fill it. Refer to USING SERVICE STATION . For additional information, refer to OVERVIEW - REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, NOT OPENING THE REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, VEHICLES WITHOUT HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM and OVERVIEW - REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, OPENING THE REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, VEHICLES WITHOUT HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM (Refrigerant R134a, Servicing; Refrigerant Circuit, Using Service Station).

-- Install the remaining removed components.

-- Turn on the ignition.

-- Check the DTC memory for the Climatronic Control Module -- display and control head and erase any displayed malfunctions, if necessary using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding " function.

-- Operate the A/C system after filling the refrigerant circuit. Refer to A/C SYSTEM, STARTING OPERATION AFTER FILLING REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT .

NOTE:

Observe the information regarding operating the A/C system after filling. Refer to A/C SYSTEM, OPERATING AFTER CHARGING , (Refrigerant R134a, Servicing; A/C System, General Information). After charging the A/C system before activating the A/C system.
