Connections with primary sealing valve (ball valve) — AUDI

Connections with primary sealing valve (ball valve)
WARNING
Before unscrewing the connection, connect the air conditioner service station and extract refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit must be empty; danger of injury.
Connection with high-pressure valve
Connection with internal thread (soldered in)
O-ring (version and identification: black or coloured
Electronic parts catalogue
)
Valve with external thread and groove for O-ring (designation: ball valve)
Seal for sealing cap
Cap
Note
Following connection, carefully screw the handwheel of the service coupling into the quick-release coupling adapter to the extent required to reliably open the valve in the service connection (observe the pressure gauge; take care not to open the valve too far).
To remove and install the valve
3
with the refrigerant circuit drained, make use of an adapter from the
socket
T10364
for example.
There are different versions of these valves (with internal or external thread) and the tightening torques may therefore also differ. For the valves
3
currently in use (external thread M12 x 1.5 mm) the tightening torque is 9 Nm +/- 1 Nm.
There are different versions of these valves and the corresponding sealing caps. Note the correct version of the valve and correct assignment of the sealing cap
