The replacement compressor contains the full quantity of oil intended for the refrigerant circuit. On A/C compressor replacement, the quantity of oil in the A/C compressor is therefore to be adjusted. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT COMPONENTS, REPLACING .
Exclusive use was made at the start of production of "Sanden" A/C compressors. From My 1999 A/C compressors from the manufacturer "Zexel / Valeo" are being used. Refer to [For engine(s) CTUA, CEUC, CRDB, CGXB, CPNB] System Overview - Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific repair information).
Beginning from production year 2006, the name of the "Zexel" A/C compressor was changed from "Zexel" to "Valeo".
