5. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVER NO.1
6. REMOVE COMPRESSOR AND MAGNETIC CLUTCH
a. Disconnect the connector and clamp.
b. Remove the 2 bolts, nut and cooler compressor bracket.
c. Remove the 3 bolts and compressor and magnetic clutch.
7. INSPECT COMPRESSOR OIL
a. When replacing the compressor and magnetic clutch with new one, after gradually removing the refrigerant gas from the service valve, drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor and magnetic clutch before installation.
Standard:
(Oil capacity inside new cooler compressor assembly: 120-135 ml) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed cooler compressor assembly) (Oil amount to be removed when replacing)
NOTE:
- When checking the compressor oil level, observe the precautions on the cooler removal/installation.
- Because compressor oil remains in the pipes of the vehicle, If a new cooler compressor assembly is installed without removing some oil inside, the oil amount becomes too much, preventing heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causing refrigerant failure.
- If the remaining oil in the removed cooler compressor assembly is too small in volume, check for oil leakage.
- Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 for compressor oil.
