Securing air conditioner compressor to body
If compressor is removed without opening refrigerant circuit, it should be secured to body using suitable material, for example, welding wire.
When doing this, ensure refrigerant hoses on air conditioner compressor are not stressed.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
