How to remove the air conditioner compressor

If you decide to change the look of Freon in the air conditioner or suspected malfunctions in the compressor, naturally, it will have to remove it: in the first case, to wash the system from the oil, in the second - for adjustment or repair of spare parts. How to remove the air conditioner compressor, learn from this instruction.

The location of the compressor depends in most cases from the car model. In some, for example, Volkswagen, it is very difficult to get to him: From below, access hinders Pump hydroxidant, protection and sockets of cooling system; the side member is installed; From above - generator and collector. Evaluate which side you easier to get a compressor. In this case, the option "top" is optimal.

To begin with, remove the intake manifold, for this you need to disconnect the injector bar. Note that it is still suitable for it between the second and third tube of the collector, the tube. Remove the pressure valve from the plank, but do not disconnect it. Now unscrew the mounts and remove the bar along with the nozzles.

Remove the collector fastening bolts, disconnect the ventilation curtain tube and the air nozzle. Now you can freely remove the intake manifold. The "bare" intake holes shut up with a grain rare in order to avoid sauhing in the gas distribution mechanism.

It is the generator turn, it is screwed to the engine block with two bolts. It is not necessary to extract mounts at all, you can leave them on the spot, just knock the hammer without effort through the bolt cap until the clamping sleeve shifts, and then remove the generator.

Unscrew the last two bolts connecting the compressor and the engine, and remove the compressor itself. Rubber nozzles included in the air conditioner, so no manipulations with them (pull pressure, then refueling) do not need to do.

The principle of actions when removing the compressor is simple: sequentially remove the mechanisms that prevent access to it. The most important and difficult thing is not to lose parts and do not get confused when you return everything to our places, so in advance, organize the site (table, faeer, plain fabric), for which we alternately alleged everything that you unscrew, for greater confidence, unscrewing each item, Make a photo of the mechanism, viewing pictures in the reverse order, you will receive a photo instruction instruction.
