2. Undo the upper bolts fixing the air conditioning compressor.
1. Undo the nuts (1a) and disconnect the cooling radiator engine oil supply and return pipes (1b), oil filter mounting side.
Collect the engine oil which comes out in a suitable container.
1. Undo the bolt (1a) and remove the bracket (1b) fixing the engine oil supply and return pipes to the cooling radiator.
1. Undo the bolts (1a) and remove the engine oil cooling radiator (1b) complete with pipes (1c).
1. Undo the lower air conditioning compressor fixing bolts.2. Remove the air conditioning compressor.
Refitting ( Removing ) If replacing the compressor, proceed as follows.1. Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid from the compressor.
Manually rotate the compressor to facilitate the removal of all the fluid.
the fluid is extremely hygroscopic: avoid leaving the containers open. Avoid leaving the compressor or any other component disconnected from the system for longer than is strictly necessary.
1. Recover the fluid drained from the compressor in a suitable transparent container (quantity A).2. Drain and recover the fluid from the new compressor (quantity B) in an identical container, following the instructions given previously.3. Introduce the same amount of fluid removed from the compressor being replaced into the new compressor (eliminate quantity C = B - A).
1. Place the air conditioning compressor (2a) back in its housing and fix it tightening the bolts (2b) to the recommended torque.
