Draining the coolant

Note. To drain the system the ambient temperature should be higher than 20°C (68°F). If the engine is left running for a while (five minutes) before draining, the draining will be faster.

Scheme 315

Scheme 315: Draining the coolant
  1. Draining is done via the service valve on the front
  2. The A/C system is drained in approximately 25 minutes
  3. Check for oil which may have run out when draining the coolant.

Note. When trouble-shooting: There are no high-pressure/low-pressure connections on the compressor. Therefore it is only possible to check if the pressure sensor works. Connection on vehicle service valve.
