Placing System In Operation
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 124 other vehicles, including the 1991 Volvo 940, 1991 Volvo 740, 1991 Volvo 240, 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon, and 1991 Volkswagen Passat. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
After component service or replacement has been completed and all connections have been made, evacuate system thoroughly with a vacuum pump. Charge system with proper amount of refrigerant and perform a leak test. See REFRIGERANT OIL & R-12 SPECIFICATIONS chart in this section for system capacities. Be sure to check all fittings that have been opened. After system has been leak tested, make a system performance check.
NOTE:
Air conditioning systems will not normally need addition of refrigerant oil unless definite oil loss has occurred due to ruptured lines, leaking compressor seals, compressor overhaul or component replacement.
