Oil Distribution
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Volkswagen Arteon and 2019 Volkswagen Arteon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- When the A/C system is being used, the refrigerant oil that was in the A/C compressor before switching on the A/C system for the first time is distributed throughout the entire refrigerant circuit.
- The distribution of the refrigerant oil in the refrigerant circuit varies depending on the last operating conditions of the A/C system before switching it off, the ambient temperatures, etc. A general statement about the refrigerant oil distribution in the refrigerant circuit is therefore not possible. Note the information about replacing refrigerant circuit components. Refer to Components, Replacing (R134a) (Refrigerant R134a Servicing, Refrigerant Circuit Components, Replacing) or COMPONENTS, REPLACING (R1234ya) .
