Note
♦
The replacement compressor contains the full quantity of oil
intended for the refrigerant circuit. On A/C compressor re‐
placement, the quantity of oil in the A/C compressor is there‐
fore to be adjusted. Refer to
⇒ “5 Removal and Installation“, page 191 .
♦
Different A/C compressors are installed depending on pro‐
duction period and engine.
♦
At Start Of Production, A/C compressors manufactured by
Denso type 6 SEU 14C or Sanden type 7 PXE 16 were instal‐
led. Refer to Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA) and ⇒ Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr. 87 ; Removal and
Installation .
♦
Depending on the engine, an A/C compressor manufactured
by Delphi type 6 CVC 140 will be installed at a later point in
time (introduction still open). Refer to Electronic Parts Catalog
(ETKA) and ⇒ Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep.
Gr. 87 ; Removal and Installation .
♦
These A/C compressors are available as replacement parts
with different oil fill capacities, therefore note capacity on the
A/C compressor and the exact part number. Refer to the ⇒
Heating and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr. 87 ; Specifications and
Electronic Parts Catalog.
♦
The reason for the different oil capacities inside the A/C com‐
pressor is due to the design of the A/C compressor (with or
with an oil separator on the high pressure connection) or to the
design of the refrigerant circuit if the A/C compressors are
have the identical design. Pay attention to the different ca‐
pacities. Too much oil in the circuit leads to higher pressures
and reduces cooling performance of the system. Too little oil
may lead to lubrication problems in the compressor.
♦
A data plate may be attached to the A/C compressor by the
manufacturer, indicating the part number and refrigerant oil
quantity.
