Removing and installing compressor bracket ("Harrison" compressor with "Diavia" bracket), Engine codes AAM, ADY, ADZ, AEK on VW: factory workshop.
Workshop procedure for VW — the factory write-up, straight from real workshop data.
📋 Procedure
ℹ️ Torque figures below come verbatim from workshop data — always cross-check against your vehicle's factory manual before final tightening.
Installing Sanden compressor bracket=>Page
87-95
Special tools, workshop equipment, test and measuring appliances and aux. items required
V.A.G 1331 Torque wrench (5...50 Nm)
V.A.G 1332 Torque wrench (40...200 Nm)
Notes:
Only vehicles with manual gearbox 020 are effected.
The compressor bracket and related components can be removed and installed without having to open the refrigerant circuit.
If the "Diavia" bracket with Harrison compressor is replaced by Sanden compressor and related bracket, then the vehicle can only be serviced in specially equipped service workshop for air conditioning systems.
The ribbed V-belt tensioning on the "Diavia" bracket is pre-set. The tensioning pulley on the "Sanden" bracket (standard production) adjusts the ribbed V-belt automatically.

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.
