Preparatory work

Draining the air conditioning (A/C) system
Drain the refrigerant from the air conditioning (A/C) system. Refer to: Refrigerant, draining Refrigerant, Draining.

Removal

Removing the solenoid valve





Caution! Always ensure cleanliness when working with the solenoid valve and surrounding components.

Note! Position the compressor with the solenoid valve facing upwards to prevent leaking compressor oil.

Remove:
- the solenoid valve connector

Install:
- the solenoid valve by twisting backwards and forwards, under light pressure, until it bottoms enough for the groove for the snap ring to be visible.
- the snap ring
- the line to the solenoid valve in its mounting as noted. Torque: M6, 10 Nm

- the connector
