Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Checking
– |
Connect pressure gauge battery (A/C service station). |
– |
Take pressure gauge readings. There are two possible results
A and B. |
|
|
|
Ambient
Temperature in °C (°F) |
Pressure in
Refrigerant Circuit in Bar (psi) Positive Pressure |
15 (60) |
3.9 (57) |
20 (68) |
4.7 (68) |
30 (86) |
6.7 (97) |
40 (104) |
9.1 (132) |
A- The pressure in the refrigerant circuit is lower than the
pressure specified in the table. There is not enough refrigerant
in the circuit. |
- Search for leak with leak detection device. |
- The pressure release valve is open, check coolant fan
activation according to the wiring diagram. |
Check refrigerant pipes and hoses to see if they are bent
too sharply (cross-section constrictions) or have external
damage. If no malfunction is found, flush refrigerant circuit. |
B - The pressure in the refrigerant circuit matches the
table or is higher. |
– |
Set A/C system to maximum cooling output. |
– |
Open vents in instrument panel. |
The A/C compressor is driven by the engine via the magnetic
clutch using the ribbed belt. |
Note
If the A/C compressor is not driven, check A/C Clutch -N25-
voltage supply. |
If the voltage supply is OK, repair the magnetic clutch. |
If the A/C compressor is driven, check refrigerant circuit: |
– |
Bring engine speed up to 2000 RPM. |
– |
Observe manometer battery: |
|
|
|
Increasing from pressure with engine not running to a
maximum of 20 bar (290 psi). |
Decreasing from pressure with engine not running down to 1.3
bar (18.9 psi). |
|
Radiator and condenser are clean (clean if necessary).
The ribbed belt for the A/C compressor and alternator
tensioned correctly.
