Follow the recommended safety instructions (see 5040 - Introduction).

- Position the vehicle on a lift.- Drain the coolant.    Op. 0010T84 COOLANT FOR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - DEHYDRATE AND REPRESSURIZE     Op. 7055B54 UNDER ENGINE PROTECTION/GUARD - R.R.     Op. 7055B66 ENGINE COMPARTMENT DUST COVER IN RIGHT FRONT WHEEL ARCH - R.R.     Op. 7210E10 R.R. FRONT BUMPER 1. Undo the nut (1a) and disconnect the connector (1b) from the expansion valve (1c).2. Undo the nut (2a) and disconnect the connector (2b) from the expansion valve (1c) (in order to facilitate the extraction of the pipe (1b).

Seal the connectors that have been disconnected using suitable plugs to prevent dampness and impurities from entering the system.

- Raise the vehicle.1. Undo the bolt (1a) and disconnect the connectors (1b) and (1c) for the pipes connected to the condenser (1d). 1. Disconnect the electrical connection for the pressure switch.

If necessary, undo the linear pressure switch. Refitting ( Removing ) - Check that the pipe from the expansion valve to the condenser is undamaged and is not affected by cracks that affect the seal.

Replace the O-rings on the connectors. Only use green coloured seals that are resistant to R134a coolant.Lubricate the connector threads using anti-freeze.

1. If removed, tighten the linear pressure switch.
