Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Important notes for working with the air conditioner service station
| To operate the air conditioner service station -VAS 6007A-,
the following must be observed (also applies to other and latest
available air conditioner service stations). |
| The fitted filter and dryer must be renewed at the latest
when the operational time specified in the related operating
instructions has been reached. |
| Fill only with refrigerant oils which have been approved for
the vehicle-specific refrigerant circuit. |
| Refrigerant that has been extracted may not be reused, even
after cleaning within the station, in any of the following
circumstances: |
| If there is damage to the air conditioner compressor, such
that decomposition of the refrigerant due to overheating might
have occurred. |
| If there are dark sticky deposits in the refrigerant circuit
(these can be detected only by opening up the system). |
| If there is any doubt about the composition of the
refrigerant extracted from the refrigerant circuit. |
| In all of these circumstances the air conditioner service
station must be drained
→ Chapter, the system must be cleaned if necessary,
the filter and dryer and also the refrigerant oil must be
renewed. |
| Contaminated refrigerant can, e.g. in the Federal Republic
of Germany, be returned to the supplier in so-called recycling
bottles for recycling or for environmentally sound disposal (in
other countries other or additional regulations may apply). |
| The commercially available air conditioner service stations
can be divided into 2 groups: |
| A. Air conditioner service stations that clean the extracted
refrigerant for reuse (so-called evacuating and recycling
stations) e.g. air conditioner service station -VAS 6007A-. |
| B. Air conditioner service station, called extraction
stations, that charge the extracted refrigerant into recycling
bottles (for reprocessing in bulk). |
