Installation
AIR CONDITIONING: COMPRESSOR (for 2GR-FE): INSTALLATION
1. ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL
(a) When replacing the compressor and magnetic clutch with a new one, gradually discharge the refrigerant gas from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor and magnetic clutch before installation.
Standard:
(Oil capacity inside the new compressor and magnetic clutch: 130 + 15 cc (4.39 + 0.51 fl.oz.)) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch) = (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 and magnetic clutch 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 and magnet clutch 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 and bracket with the 4 bolts.
Torque : 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf)
NOTICE:

3. CONNECT 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) Connect the cooler refrigerant suction hose to the cooler compressor with the bolt.
Torque : 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf)
4. CONNECT NO. 1 COOLER REFRIGERANT DISCHARGE 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 discharge hose.
(d) Connect the cooler refrigerant discharge hose to the cooler compressor with the bolt.
Torque : 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf)
