Note
♦
Replacement restrictors with different holes are available (yel‐
low colored 1.54 mm, red colored 1.42 mm).
♦
Depending on manufacturer, color of red restrictor may tend
more towards orange.
♦
To avoid altering the cooling output of the air conditioner, re‐
strictors with the same hole diameter must only be installed.
♦
A restrictor with a smaller hole (red colored) and a condenser
with smaller internal volume were introduced as of model year
2002. The capacity has therefore been slightly modified (con‐
denser -70 g, smaller restrictor +50 g). Refer to Electronic
