7.1 Separating quick couplings for refriger‐
ant lines
Note
Repairs must only be carried out in specialist service centres
which have suitably trained personnel and are fitted out for work‐
ing on the refrigerant circuit.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Release tool - VAS 6127/3-
♦ Circlip pliers
♦ Protective goggles
♦ Gloves
Note
Whenever the quick coupling is disconnected, replace the O-
♦
ring, locking insert and circlip.
These parts are available as repair kit (6Q0 298 260 - for high-
♦
pressure line; 6Q0 298 260A - for low-pressure line).
The following describes the separating of the quick coupling
♦
of the low-pressure line. The work sequence for separating the
quick couplings of the high-pressure line is the same.
Separating the quick coupling
• The refrigerant circuit is empty.
– Remove right headlight and noise insulation.
– Remove the refrigerant lines from the holder -3-.
– Release the dust-protection cap -1- from the coupling -2- so
as to allow the release tool to be fitted.
