64 52... Instructions for opening and part replacement in refrigerant circuit
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW 760Li, 2015 BMW 760Li, 2014 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li, and 2012 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
- Avoid contact with refrigerant and refrigerant oil
- Follow safety precautions when handling refrigerant. See safety instructions for HANDLING R 134A REFRIGERANT , HANDLING TETRAFLUORETHANE REFRIGERANT R134A , and HANDLING REFRIGERANT OIL .
Attention!
- Always use new O-rings each time A/C connections are opened (refer to BMW Electronic Parts Catalogue)
They must not be coated.
- Use special tool 00 9 030 to install sealing rings without damaging them.
- Open the refrigerant circuit for as short of a period as possible.
- Close all components and lines in the refrigerant circuit and return parts immediately following the removals at openings with special tool 32 1 270 to prevent penetration of moisture or foreign objects.
- If the refrigerant circuit was closed at the openings with special tool 32 1 270 but it remains open for more than 24 hours, the dryer insert for the air conditioning must be replaced.
- Part replacement as preliminary work fur further repair work and part replacement based on gradual leakage
.
(minor leak, e.g. hairline crack)
Procedure:
- DRAW OFF heating and air conditioning system, then determine drawn-off amount of refrigerant
- Carry out part replacement
- Replace removed refrigerant oil and additionally top up with new refrigerant oil according to components replaced:
- Compressor: refer to NOTES ON COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT
- Evaporator: 10 ml
- Capacitor: 20 ml
- Desiccant insert / dryer flask: 20 ml
- Each replaced refrigerant line: 10 ml
- Capacitor with integrated dryer: 40 ml
- Safety pressure switch and gasket: no additional refrigerant oil
- EVACUATE AND FILL A/C system
- Part replacement due to sudden leakage
(major leak, e.g. pipe break due to accident)
Procedure:
- DRAW OFF heating and air conditioning system, then determine drawn-off amount of refrigerant
- Carry out part replacement
