Note. Since the illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and / or models, some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.

Replacing the receiver

Replace the receiver in the following instances

1. When replacing the compressor (compressor seizure for example)
2. Refrigerant leakage, where nearly 100% has leaked out of the system. (The system has no pressure)
3. When replacing any air conditioning (A/C) component outside the warranty period.

Filling the A/C system with oil

Note. On newer filling/draining/vacuum-pumping stations there is a reservoir for injecting oil. This can be used before filling with refrigerant and after vacuum-pumping without needing to remove the needle valve in the service valve.

Note. Fill with oil before vacuum-pumping.

Filling with PAG oil

When replacing pipes/hoses, oil can be filled through the service valve.

When filling PAG-oil (part no. 1161627) in the vehicle, proceed as follows

1. Remove the needle valve in the service valve using valve tool «9511204»(ref-403953-S29886163752011061000000)

Scheme 1104

Use the filling syringe (without plastic hose) supplied with the unit to top up the oil. Clean the syringe to avoid the possibility of mixing different types of oil.

1. Check according to the table above. Measure how much oil is to be added. After topping up the oil, reinstall the needle valve.

Note. Use only your thumb and index finger when tightening the service valve using valve needle tool 9511204 . This is to prevent damage to the seal on the valve.
