Flushing air conditioner compressor  
Note  
On an electrical air conditioning compressor, the refrigeranoil  
cannobe poured ou(as there is no oil drain plug), i.e. the  
design makes no allowance for the drainage of oil  
With an electrical air conditioning compressor, the refrigeran 
oil is to be removed in the direction of flow by flushing (flushing  
in the opposite direction of flow is nopossible due to the in‐  
tegrated valves).  
The air conditioner compressor musbe positioned for flushing  
so thathe connection for the refrigeranline on the high pres‐  
sure side is athe lowespoinpossible.

1 - Air conditioner service sta‐  
tion  
❑ With electronics and  
flushing program, air  
conditioner service sta‐  
tion with flushing device  
⇒ Electronic parts cata‐  
logue .  
❑ If an air conditioner  
service station withou 
flushing program is  
used, the sequence has  
to be carried ouman‐  
ually (evacuate, flush  
4 times with aleas2 kg  
of refrigeraneach time  
and extracrefrigeran 
again, evacuate).  
2 - Refrigeranhose of air con‐  
ditioner service station  
❑ From high pressure side  
of air conditioner service  
station (normally col‐  
oured red) for connect‐  
ing low pressure side of  
air conditioner compres‐  
sor to refrigerancircui 
(larger diameter)  
3 - Adapter to connection for  
low pressure side on air condi‐  
tioner compressor  
❑ Different versions de‐  
pending on vehicle  
⇒ “1.6.8 Adapters for  
setting up flushing cir‐  
cuits”, page 105  
❑ The item to be used be‐  
tween the refrigeran 
hose -2- and adapter -3- is adapter - VAS 6338/48- .  
❑ From adapter case VW/Audi passenger vehicle se 
4 - Refrigeranline  
❑ For connection of air conditioner compressor to adapter ⇒ Item 3 (page 156)  
5 - Electrical air conditioner compressor  
❑ Flush the air conditioner compressor in normal direction of flow (from low pressure inleto high pressure  
outlet)  
❑ In order to flush as much refrigeranoil ouof the air conditioner compressor as possible, make sure tha 
the high pressure outleof the air conditioner compressor is in the lowesposition possible  
Note  
Depending on the air conditioner  
compressor, a new air condition‐  
er compressor mighbe filled  
with quite a large amounof re‐  
frigeranoil (see manufacturer  
plate on air conditioner compres‐  
sor and  
⇒ “5.2 Refrigeranoil capacities”,  
page 15 ).

Air conditioning systems with refrigeranR1234yf - General information - Edition 07.2017  
On a new air conditioner com‐  
pressor filled with more than  
150 cm3, pour ouas much re‐  
frigeranoil as possible before  
flushing.  
Reason: The oil volume to be  
displaced in one work step may  
be restricted depending on the  
version of air conditioner service  
station .  
Note  
If the clean refrigeranoil is poured  
ouof a new air conditioner com‐  
lk  
pressor into a clean container and  
this is subsequently sealed air-tight,  
the refrigeranoil can be re-used to  
top-up the refrigeranoil volume in  
the circuit.  
6 - Refrigeranline  
❑ For connection of air conditioner compressor to adapter ⇒ Item 7 (page 157)  
❑ Use a refrigeranline e.g. with parnumber 7L6 820 721 BF to set-up the flushing circui⇒ Electronic  
parts catalogue  
7 - Adapter for connection on high pressure side of air conditioner compressor  
❑ Different versions depending on vehicle ⇒ “1.6.8 Adapters for setting up flushing circuits”, page 105  
❑ From adapter case VW/Audi passenger vehicle se 
8 - Charging hose of flushing device for refrigerancircuits  
❑ From connection to high pressure side of air conditioner compressor on refrigerancircui(smaller di‐  
ameter) to inleof flushing device for refrigerancircuits.  
9 - Flushing device for refrigerancircuits  
❑ Different versions and differendesign of flushing devices for refrigerancircuits ⇒ Electronic parts cata‐  
logue (Tools; Workshop equipment/tools; Air conditioning/heating)  
❑ With filter, sighglass, safety valve, heating, refrigerantank, etc. (depending on version).  
❑ Depending on the layouof the air conditioner service station and the flushing device for refrigeran 
circuits, there may be a service coupling for refrigerancircuits fitted athe outleand in some cases a 
the inleof the flushing device. If a service connection with a valve is installed to the outleof the flushing  
device, this valve musbe opened completely when the service coupling is connected. If the valve is no 
opened completely, irestricts the refrigeranflow.  
❑ If there is a connection for a service coupling fitted athe inleof the flushing device, the inlemusbe  
adapted to allow for the refrigeranhose coming from the vehicle to be connected directly.  
Note  
A service coupling and a valve in the  
inleof the flushing device restric 
the refrigeranflow from the vehicle  
into the flushing device.  
10 - Refrigeranhose of air conditioner service station  
❑ From the low pressure side of the air conditioner service station (normally coloured blue) to the outleof  
the flushing device for refrigerancircuits.
