and tighten each clamp plate screw to 8 Nm.
3. Connect the compressor clutch harness.
4. Fit the auxiliary belt around the pulleys ensuring correct engagement of the ribs. Apply a counterclockwise
torque to the auxiliary belt tensioner and remove the locking pin.
5. Recharge the system with R134a refrigerant.
PN.8 - CONDENSER
The a.c. condenser, engine cooling radiator and cooling fans (in front to back order), are secured together
as a package and mounted between the front subframe longerons leaning forwards at an angle of 45°. The
package is flexibly mounted via grommets and spigots off the engine radiator, with the condenser rigidly fixed
to the front of the radiator by 4 setscrews. The inlet pipe to the top section of the divided RH tank and the outlet
pipe from the lower section of the RH tank extend to a joint plate accessible from above.
Removal of the condenser from below is possible without disturbing the engine radiator, and is facilitated
by removal of the front clamshell, but is also possible with this panel
in situ
, using access provided by the
headlamp apertures.
To Remove Condenser
1. Remove the RHF wheelarch liner and recover the refrigerant using equipment connected to the service
ports at the rear of the wheelarch.
3. Remove the front undertray and both headlamp assemblies (see sub-section BV.4).
4. Remove the radiator air intake duct lower section:
- Release the headlamp powerwash hose from its 'P' clips
- Remove both horns
- Release the ambient temperature sensor from the RH side
- Remove the 2 fixings securing the condenser to the radiator lower mounting brackets
- Remove the 2 edge clips at each side securing the lower duct to the upper duct, and withdraw the
lower section.
5. From the RH headlamp aperture, release the clamp plate securing the refrigerant pipes connection.
6. From each headlamp aperture, release the screw securing the top of the condenser to the radiator
bracket.
7. At each side, release the single screw securing the bottom of the condenser to the radiator bracket, and
withdraw the condenser.
8. Refit in reverse order to removal.
- If a new condenser is fitted, add 30 cm³ of approved refrigerant oil to the system.
- Use new 'O' rings on the pipe connections, and lubricate with refrigerant oil.
- Recharge the system with 0.625 kg of R134a.
