  1. - Bolt.
    • 3 off
    • 4.5 Nm
  2. - Cap
  3. - Nut
    • 25 Nm
  4. - Drive plate
    • With overload protection device; triggered if torque is too great (e.g.

      if air conditioner compressor cannot rotate freely) causing pulley to free-wheel without driving air conditioner compressor

  5. - Circlip
    • Renewing.
    • Ensure correct positioning - flat side facing air conditioner compressor
  6. - Pulley
    • Removing and fitting
  7. - Air conditioning compressor

Air conditioning system

  1. - Nut
    • 25 Nm

Note A plastic cap is additionally fitted to protect the thread of the air conditioner compressor drive shaft (this cap is not shown in the illustration).

  • To unfasten and tighten the hexagon nut, hold the pulley in position with a commercially available oil filter strap wrench.
  • Use a thread cutter for example to remove the locking fluid applied to the thread of the nut on screwing in. Otherwise there is a danger of the drive shaft shearing off on next removal.
  • Use a wire brush to clean the thread of the air conditioner compressor drive shaft.
  • Apply locking fluid when fitting the nut. Locking fluid.
  1. - Bolt.
    • 12 Nm
    • To unfasten and tighten the bolts, hold the pulley in position with a commercially available oil filter strap wrench.
    • Threaded holes which take self-locking bolts or bolts coated with locking fluid must be cleaned (using a tap or similar). Otherwise there is a danger of the bolts shearing off the next time they are removed.
    • Clean thread of bolts from remnants of locking fluid using wire brush. Then apply locking fluid and fit bolts. Locking fluid.
  2. - Drive plate
    • With overload safeguard (attachment of spring elements); tripped in the event of excessive torque (e.g.stiff air conditioner compressor) and the pulley just free-wheels without driving the air conditioner compressor
    • The spring elements of the drive plate dampen vibrations and reduce noise
  3. - Circlip
    • Install in correct position; insertion bevel -A- facing away from air conditioner compressor (flat side shows towards compressor)
  4. - Pulley
    • With rubber elements -B- and threaded plates -C- for isolating the pulley from the air conditioner compressor drive shaft, dampening vibrations and reducing noise.

Note

  • Depending on the version, the threaded plates may also be linked by way of a ring.
  • "Cold country" vehicles (e.g. central and northern Europe) may be fitted with air conditioner compressors with a smaller capacity.

    On these air conditioner compressors, the pulley is slightly different to the version shown here (e.g. no rubber elements -B-) .
