Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their
careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness
and safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as
a matter of course, be observed.

prior to initial operation of the air conditioning system, is

distributed throughout the refrigerant circuit.
♦ Distribution of the refrigerant oil in the refrigerant circuit de‐
pends on the last operating mode of the air conditioner when
it was switched off, the ambient temperatures and so on.
♦ Consequently, it is not possible to make a general statement
about how the refrigerant oil is distributed within the refriger‐
ant circuit.

When renewing air conditioner compressor:
Important
• The air conditioner compressor must not be flushed individu‐
ally.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to components due to soiling.
– Keep the measuring beaker clean.
– Drain oil from removed air conditioner compressor into a

measuring beaker -1- via the two connections to determine
the amount of oil. Move the air conditioner compressor in a
circular motion to ensure the best possible drainage.
Important
• If the oil shows signs of contamination (by turning dark-grey
to black and cloudy), the entire refrigerant circuit must be
flushed ⇒ Air conditioning systems with refrigerant R1234yf
– General notes; Rep. gr. 87; Refrigerant circuit; Cleaning

– After removing protective caps on suction and pressure
sides, drain oil from new air conditioner compressor into
measuring beaker -2-. Move the air conditioner compressor
in a circular motion to ensure the best possible drainage.
– The (drained) new air conditioner compressor must be fil‐
led with exact the same amount of refrigerant oil that has
been determined in the removed air conditioner compressor
(measuring beaker -2-). This is done via the suction pipe.
Important
• The air conditioner compressor must not be flushed individu‐
