A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-, EMOVING AND INSTALLING, AND REPLACING: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi SQ7, 2024 Audi Q7, 2023 Audi SQ7, and 2023 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

Certain malfunctions at the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- (for example, a stuck valve or a short circuit in the coil) can lead to a complaint regarding the A/C compressor (A/C system is not cooling, the evaporator ices over, etc.). If the cause is with the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- (and not on the A/C compressor itself), the A/C compressor can be serviced by replacing the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- -C and D-.

The A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- -C and D- is not available as a replacement part for all A/C compressors. If the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- is not available as an individual A/C compressor part, then the entire A/C compressor must be replaced. Refer to the Parts Information.

The A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- is available in different versions and settings. Refer to the Parts Information. On the A/C compressor -A- (shown is an A/C compressor manufactured by "Denso") the connector for the vehicle wiring harness connection is attached with a short wiring harness to the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- -C-.On the A/C compressor -B- (shown is an A/C compressor manufactured by "Sanden") the connector for the vehicle wiring harness connection is mounted directly on the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- -C-.The removal and installation of the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- -C and D- on other A/C compressors (other type and manufacturer) is basically the same and only slightly deviates from the procedure described below.

If the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- malfunction was found to be caused by dirt, shavings or abraded A/C compressor material after the removal of the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-, lean the refrigerant circuit and replace the A/C compressor.
