AIR CONDITIONING: COMPRESSOR AND PULLEY (for 2AR-FE): INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

1. ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL
(a) When replacing the compressor assembly with pulley with a new one, gradually discharge the refrigerant gas from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor assembly with pulley before installation.
Standard:
(Oil capacity inside the new compressor assembly with pulley: 100 + 15 cc (3.38 + 0.51 fl.oz.)) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor assembly with pulley) = (Oil amount to be removed from the new compressor)
NOTICE:
- When checking the compressor oil level, follow the A/C system precautions.
- If a new compressor assembly with pulley is installed without removing the oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle, the oil amount will be too large. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigerant failure.
- If the volume of oil remaining in the removed compressor assembly with pulley is small, check for oil leakage.
- Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent compressor oil.

2. INSTALL COOLER COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY





(a) Install the cooler compressor with the 2 stud bolts.
Torque: 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf)





(b) Install the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
Torque: 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf)
NOTE: Tighten the bolts in the order shown in the illustration to install the cooler compressor.

3. INSTALL NO. 1 COOLER REFRIGERANT SUCTION HOSE





(a) Remove the vinyl tape from the hose and compressor.
(b) Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the cooler compressor.
Compressor oil:
ND-OIL 8 or equivalent
(c) Install the O-ring to the cooler refrigerant suction hose.
(d) Install the cooler refrigerant suction hose to the cooler compressor with the bolt.
Torque: 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf)
4. INSTALL NO. 1 COOLER REFRIGERANT DISCHARGE HOSE





(a) Remove the attached vinyl tape from the hose.
(b) Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the cooler compressor.
Compressor oil:
ND-OIL 8 or equivalent
(c) Install the O-ring to the cooler refrigerant discharge hose.
(d) Install the cooler refrigerant discharge hose to the cooler compressor with the bolt.
Torque: 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf)





(e) Connect the 2 connectors and attach the 2 clamps.
