Note
Use is only to be made of O-rings which are resistant to re‐
♦
frigerant R134a and the corresponding refrigerant oil. Such O-
rings are colour coded to prevent mix-ups (currently „red",
„lilac" or „violet"): ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue
Dimensions -a- and -b- differ depending on the fitting location
♦
of the O-ring: ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue
In addition to the coloured O-rings, use is also made at the
♦
factory of black O-rings for certain connections.
3.5 Detaching compressor from holder/at‐
taching on vehicles with 6-cyl. engine, 8-
cyl. MPI engine or 8-cyl. diesel engine
Compressor drive via poly V-belt
Note
The compressor can be detached from the holder and re-at‐
♦
tached without opening up the refrigerant lines.
Do not drain the refrigerant circuit, do not detach the refriger‐
♦
ant hoses and lines at the compressor.
After detaching, use a piece of wire for example to attach the
♦
compressor to the longitudinal member. Never leave hanging
from the refrigerant lines.
Before removing, mark the direction of the poly V-belt with
♦
chalk or a felt-tip pen. Running a used belt in the opposite di‐
rection could destroy it.
Different compressors are fitted depending on the engine and
♦
country version (6, 8, 10 or 12-cyl. engine, petrol or diesel en‐
gine). ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue
On vehicles with 8-cyl. diesel engine, the compressor is fitted
♦
at the top between the two cylinder heads.
