WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
This procedure can only be used if the refrigerant circuit is filled or partially filled. If the refrigerant circuit is drained completely because of the leakage, then it must not be filled. In that case, find the leaks with other means. Refer to LEAKS, FINDING .
Procedure
Vehicles with High-Voltage System
-- Deactivate the "parking air conditioner". Refer to Owner's Manual.
-- Switch off the ignition.
Continuation for all vehicles
-- Start the Leak Detector:VAS 584 001 . Refer to Owner's Manual.
-- Check possible leak locations from all sides using the Leak Detector:VAS 584 001 .
- Depending on the type of leak detector, leak detection is indicated by an increase in clicking rate or a wailing tone. Refer to the Owner's Manual.
Tip
- Refrigerant will evaporate quickly because of to air movement. Drafts must therefore be avoided during leak detection.
