refrigerant into the system.
On 2-piece can taps, be certain tap handle is turned fully
inward to the closed position. Check that locking base is turned to
its outer limit. Securely engage locking lugs over the can flange.
Turn entire tap assembly (without disturbing the closed setting)
downward into the locking base to pierce the can. DO NOT open tap
until ready to dispense into system.
SCREW TYPE SEAL CANS
Ensure can tap is fully closed. Screw refrigerant can into
can tap fitting until tight. This will pierce the can. Connect tap to
center hose on manifold gauge set. DO NOT open tap until ready to
dispense R-12 into system.
WARNING: DO NOT open high side hand valve while air conditioning
system is in operation. This high pressure could rupture can
or fitting at safety can valve, resulting in damage and
personal injury.
CONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS
A new "O" ring should be used in all instances when
connecting lines and fittings (dip "O" ring in clean refrigeration oil
and make certain it is not twisted during installation). Always use
two wrenches to avoid twisting or distorting lines and fittings,
tighten coupling nuts securely.
PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
After component replacement and/or system servicing has been
completed and all connections have been made, proceed as follows:
1) Evacuate the system using a vacuum pump.
2) Charge the system with new R-12 (refrigerant) according to
each individual vehicle as outlined in the GENERAL SERVICING article.
Also see Refrigerant Capacity in this Section.
3) Leak test the system, with particular attention to all new
connections and components.
4) Make a performance test of the system. Never assume that a
recharging has automatically corrected a problem.
COMPRESSOR REMOVAL INFORMATION - ISOLATION METHOD
On systems which have compressors equipped with stem-type
service valves (Tecumseh), it is possible to isolate the compressor
for removal.
Isolating
Turn both high and low pressure manual valves to extreme
clockwise (front seat) position. Loosen cap on high pressure manual

together. Turn idle speed screw until idle speed is correct. To adjust
timing, see CHECKING & ADJUSTING under IGNITION TIMING in this
article.
3) Ensure all vehicle electrical equipment is off. Place
exhaust gas analyzer in exhaust pipe. See IDLE SPEED & CO LEVEL table.
If adjustment is needed, go to next step.
4) If adjustment is needed in step 2). Remove intake air
sensor from engine. Center punch plug in CO adjusting hole. Using a
3/32" drill bit, drill hole 5/32" (4 mm) deep in center of plug.
Remove any metal shavings. Screw in a sheet metal screw and remove
plug using pliers to pry plug out.
5) Disconnect oxygen sensor connector on left side of engine
compartment (Green wire). Start engine. Set idle speed and CO reading
by alternately turning mixture and idle speed adjustment screws.
Reconnect oxygen sensor and idle stabilizer connectors. Let engine
idle for 2 minutes.
6) Check CO value. If incorrect, repeat adjusting procedure.
If correct turn ignition off. Drive in new adjusting hole plug flush
with air intake sensor. Remove all test equipment and reconnect all
hoses and wiring.
NOTE: Do not push down on adjustment screw and do not accelerate
engine with wrench in plate. Remove wrench after each
adjustment and accelerate engine briefly before measuring
current reading. Always adjust from a high to a low reading.

Turn screw in until it just touches stop. Turn screw 1/2 turn (180
degrees) further. Check and adjust idle speed and CO.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Instrument cluster for most models includes speedometer, fuel
gauge and temperature gauge. Optional instruments include clock,
tachometer, voltmeter and oil temperature gauge.
Printed circuit provides voltage to gauges. A voltage
regulator attached to the printed circuit controls voltage to fuel and
temperature gauges. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used for most
warning lights. To replace diodes, pull from printed circuit sockets.
NOTE: Volkswagen Tester (1301) is required for resistance tests.
Tester settings are numerical. Settings do not indicate
resistance in ohms. Manufacturer does not supply resistance
value in ohms.
TESTING
FUEL & TEMPERATURE GAUGE
1) Disconnect wire from fuel tank or temperature sending
unit. Connect VW tester between wire and ground. Turn ignition on and
allow 2 minutes for gauge reading to stabilize. Use FUEL GAUGE TESTING
or TEMPERATURE GAUGE TESTING table to compare gauge reading. Gauge
should be within one pointer width of specification.
2) If gauge needle does not move, check continuity between
sender wire and gauge. If needle moves, but does not match
specifications, replace gauge. If gauge works correctly with tester,
but not sending unit, replace sending unit.
