3.1 Charging Refrigerant
Note
♦
When charging the high-pressure side of refrigerant circuits,
always use maximum amount of refrigerant (some of the re‐
frigerant remains in the charging hoses).
♦
The specified capacities for refrigerant R134a apply if no other
different specifications given for the S and RS.
♦
Make sure the A/C service station is standing at the same level
as the vehicle (maximum difference: 50 cm) when charging
the refrigerant circuit. If a difference in height is large enough,
a difference between the amount of refrigerant displayed on
the service station and amount actually filled in the circuit will
result (depending on the version of the A/C service station ).
The ability of the A/C Service Station to perform an exact filling
can change.
♦
For compressor allocation (Zexel / Valeo, Sanden or Denso /
Nippondenso) refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA)
and to ⇒ Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep. Gr.
87 ; Removal and Installation (vehicle-specific repair manual).
♦
Refrigerant circuits converted from R12 to R134a are to be
filled with the quantity indicated in the repair manual “Air con‐
ditioner with refrigerant R12“. Refer to Air conditioner with
refrigerant R12. (This repair manual is only available in hard
copy).
♦
Beginning the production year 2006, the name of the Zexel A/
C compressor was changed from Zexel to Valeo.
