WARNING:
Refrigerant
- Danger of freezing
→ Avoid contact with refrigerant.
→ Wear personal protective gear.
→ Observe the safety regulations for working on air-conditioned vehicles and handling refrigerant.
→ Observe the safety regulations for extraction and filling systems.
→ Observe the instructions for repairing air-conditioning systems and storing spare parts.
Information
Before re-installing the component, replace the O-rings on the refrigerant lines.
Coat O-rings on the refrigerant lines with refrigerant oil SP-A2.
Close off all lines and connections using suitable stoppers during removal.
Do not open the stoppers for the lines and connections until shortly before installation.
- Unscrew one nut and one screw from protective plate on the air-conditioning compressor and remove protective plate.
- Unscrew screw on the low-pressure line on the air-conditioning compressor and pull off low-pressure line.
- 2.1 Close off connection on the air-conditioning compressor and at the refrigerant lines using suitable stoppers.
- Unscrew screws -3-
from the air-conditioning compressor -4-
at the bracket (illustration shows the Panamera S Hybrid as an example).
Compressor
- Turn the air-conditioning compressor as far as required to the side until the screw -1-
for the high-pressure line -2-
on the air-conditioning compressor and the high-voltage line connector are accessible (illustration shows the Panamera S Hybrid as an example).
Compressor
- Unscrew screw -5-
from high-voltage line holder -6-
on the air-conditioning compressor -4-
(illustration shows the Panamera S Hybrid as an example).
Compressor
- Disconnect electric plug connection (12-volt vehicle electrical system) on the air-conditioning compressor.
- Release high-voltage plug connection on the air-conditioning compressor and remove high-voltage line.
Releasing high-voltage connector
- 7.1 Press red release tab -a- .
- 7.2 Pull orange tab in direction of arrow until you feel a certain amount of resistance -arrow A- .
- 7.3 Release black tab -b- and pull off connector -arrow B- .
- Disconnect electric plug connection from pressure sensor on the high-pressure line.
- Unscrew screw -1-
for high-pressure line -2-
on the air-conditioning compressor and remove high-pressure line (this was already loosened on the condenser when removing the engine).
- 9.1 Close off connection on the air-conditioning compressor and at the refrigerant lines using suitable stoppers.
Compressor
- Guide out air-conditioning compressor to the side.
