REMOVAL
Place the vehicle on a lift.
Drain the R134a coolant circuit.
Disconnect the battery.
Remove the front bumper.
From above, remove:
- the compressor drive belt,
- the two connecting pipes (A),
- the connecting pipe retaining lug (B).
From underneath the vehicle, remove the three
compressor retaining bolts and remove the
compressor.
NOTE: it is essential to fit plugs on the pipes and
on the compressor to prevent humidity from ente-
ring the circuit.

REFITTING
If it is changed, the compressor is supplied filled
with oil.
Position the compressor the correct way round
(filler plug facing upwards).
Tighten the three bolts (C) (Tightening torque:
2.1 daN.m).
Refit the two R134a coolant pipes (A) on the
compressor (Tightening torque:
2.1 daN.m) as well
as bracket (B).
Fit the drive belt and tension it.
Create a vacuum, then fill the R134a coolant cir-
cuit using the filling equipment.
NOTE: when refitting the connecting pipes on the
compressor, it is essential to fit all the bolts, then
bring them into contact before torque tightening
them. The aim is to ensure that the pipe is positio-
ned correctly so that it is not damaged at the cut
off (1).
Check the condition of the seals and lubricate
them with
P.A.G. SP 10 oil.
IMPORTANT
When changing the compressor, it is essential to
top up the oil.

Remove:
- the windscreen wiper arms,
- the air inlet grille,
- the evaporator protector in the plenum cham-
ber.

FAN ASSEMBLY SPEED RESISTOR (2)
This is secured to the engine cooling fan support.
•
RECIRCULATION MOTOR
It is only possible to gain access to the recircula-
tion motor following removal of the air blower
unit (refer to the relevant section) and therefore
the evaporator assembly. •
PRESSURE SENSOR
The pressure sensor (1) is located next to the
condenser on the pressure relief valve-
dehydration canister high pressure pipe.
All work on the pressure sensor can be carried out
without draining the coolant circuit. It is secured
to a "SKRADER" valve.
Tightening torque: 0.8 daN.m.
This pressure sensor is fitted with seal. Check that
it is in good condition on refitting and lubricate it
using
P.A.G. SP 10 oil.
