To remove

Important

To avoid contaminating the system, clean the area around the parts to be removed. Contaminants and dirt can seriously affect the function and service life of the system.



1. Remove the A/C compressor as well as its ground cable and securing plate from the compressor housing.

2. Remove the driver using a 10 mm spanner and a suitable support. Pull it out from the shaft.


3. Remove the circlip holding the belt pulley and lift it off.

Note

If the belt pulley sticks, tap it with a plastic hammer until it becomes loose.


4. Remove the circlip holding the solenoid winding and lift it off.

Note

If the solenoid winding sticks, carefully bend with a screwdriver so that the guide pin releases from the groove.



To fit


1. Set the solenoid winding in place with the guide pin in the groove on the compressor housing. Check that the windings run correctly. Attach the circlip.


2. Fit the belt pulley and attach the circlip.

3. Insert the shims in the driver and fit it on the shaft. Tighten the bolt.

Tightening torque: 13 Nm (9 lbf ft)

4. Check the clearance between the driver and the belt pulley with a feeler gauge. Clearance should be 0.5 ± 0.15 mm. If necessary, adjust the clearance by changing shims on the compressor shaft.

Note

The feeler gauge must be angled to measure the clearance.



5. Connect the compressor ground cable and securing plate to the compressor housing.

6. Fit the A/C compressor.
