Removing

- Switch off ignition.

- Discharge refrigerant circuit.

- Remove the condenser. Refer to 4 cylinder => [ Condenser ] Condenser or 6 cylinder => [ Condenser ] Condenser.

- Remove the adhesive sticker from the cap - 1 -.






- Remove the cap - 1 -.

- Remove the Seeger ring - arrow - and pull the cap - 1 - off the condenser - 2 - using an M12. screw.

- Make a welding wire ( 2 mm) to the following dimensions.






a 380 mm
b maximum 7 mm
c maximum 6 mm

Hook the welding wire to the strainer exactly as illustrated to prevent damaging the condenser.






- Carefully remove the filter (strainer) - 2 - from the condenser with the welding wire - 1 -.
