Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual / Air conditioning system with refrigerant R134a / General information on refrigerant circuit / Evacuation and charging valves for quick-release couplings of air conditioner service station on refrigerant circuit

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Torque wrench -V.A.G 1783- (2…10 Nm) with 1/4" ratchet adapter -VAS 6234-

WARNING

Danger of freezing injuries.

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

Extract refrigerant before opening refrigerant circuit. 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.

Only valves and connections resistant to R134a refrigerant and the related refrigerant oils may be used.

The connectors for the high-pressure and low-pressure sides are different (outside diameter).

Always screw on sealing caps.

Arrangement within the vehicle.

Speed Assist may not be fully functional or may provide inaccurate information in these situations: Visibility is poor and speed limit signs are not clearly visible (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.). Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or direct sunlight) is interfering with th ...

Driving in Low Temperatures
Tire performance is reduced in low ambient temperatures, resulting in reduced grip and an increased susceptibility to damage from impacts. Performance tires (summer applications) have reduced traction in ambient temperatures below 40º F (5º C), and are not recommended in snow/ice conditions. ...
