      *a Rib - -
      Cooler Compressor Packing - -
    • If the cooler compressor packing has been peeled off, apply new cooler compressor packing according to the procedures listed below.
    1. Completely remove the cooler compressor packing from the compressor with motor assembly.
    2. Apply new cooler compressor packing to the location shown in the illustration.

      Cooler Compressor Packing - -
      NOTE:

      If the connector is installed as shown below, water may enter between the connectors. Therefore, make sure that the connectors are installed correctly. 

      • Make sure that cooler compressor packing is not protruding from the edges of the connectors. Do not apply cooler compressor packing so that it protrudes onto the surface of the installation.
      • Do not allow tape to extend onto the ribs on the rails, etc.
  2. ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL 
    1. When replacing the compressor with motor assembly with a new one, drain the following amount of oil from the position shown by the arrow in the illustration before installing the new compressor with motor assembly.

      Standard

      30 cc (1.01 fl.oz) from new compressor with motor assembly.

      NOTE:
      • If a new compressor with motor assembly is installed without removing some oil, there will be too much oil in the system due to the oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle. Excessive oil in the system prevents heat exchange in the refrigeration cycle and causes ineffective cooling.
      • If the amount of oil remaining in the old compressor with motor assembly is too small, check the air conditioning system for oil leaks.
      • Be sure to use ND-OIL 11 or equivalent compressor oil. If any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 is used, compressor with motor assembly insulation performance may decrease, resulting in leakage of electric power.
  3. INSTALL COMPRESSOR WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Using an E8 "TORX" socket wrench, temporarily install the compressor with motor assembly with the 2 stud bolts.

      Torque: 10 N.m (102 kgf/cm, 7 ft.lbf) 

      HINT: 

      Insert bolt (E) into the compressor with motor assembly beforehand.
