Refrigerant Circuit Components: Condenser
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited, 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan, and 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Non-approved tools or materials such as leak sealing additives can cause damage or malfunctions in the system.
Only use tools and materials approved by the manufacturer.
The warranty is voided if non-approved tools or materials are used.
- All components of the refrigerant circuit submitted for quality observation are always to be sealed (use original sealing caps of original part).
- Replace damaged or leaking components of refrigerant circuit, refer to COMPONENTS, REPLACING .
- To date, the original parts (compressor, reservoir, receiver/dryer, evaporator and condenser) have been filled with nitrogen gas. This charge is being gradually discontinued. There is little or no pressure equalization when removing the sealing plugs from the original part.
The condenser conducts heat from compressed refrigerant gas to the ambient air.
This condenses the refrigerant gas to fluid.
