Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual / Air conditioning system with refrigerant R134a / General information on refrigerant circuit / Switch and sender in refrigerant circuit and related connections / Connections to valves for switches in the refrigerant circuit

WARNING

Danger of freezing injuries.

If refrigerant circuit has not been evacuated, refrigerant will escape.

The refrigerant must be extracted before the valve -C- is removed. If the refrigerant circuit is not opened within 10 minutes after it has been evacuated, pressure may develop in coolant circuit due to re-evaporation. Extract refrigerant again.

The switches on the high-pressure and low-pressure sides have different threads.

Use only valves and O-rings that are resistant to refrigerant R134a and its associated refrigerant oils.
