1.4.2 Component Replacement
• All components of the refrigerant circuit submitted for quality
observation are always to be sealed (use original sealing caps
of replacement part).
• To date, the following replacement parts (A/C compressor,
accumulator, receiver, evaporator and condenser) have been
filled with nitrogen gas. This charging stops gradually or the
charging pressure is so low that gas does not escape notice‐
ably when opening.
• On vehicles installed with a compressor with no A/C clutch,
the engine is only to be started following complete assembly
of the refrigerant circuit (compressor always in operation as
well) .
• When the refrigerant circuit is empty, the A/C compressor with
A/C compressor regulator valve -N280- (without A/C clutch) is
switched to internal lubrication with the result that only a min‐
imal amount of oil is pumped from the compressor into the
circuit.
