Air conditioning compressor replacement (Freelander 1)

The new compressor supplied as spare parts is fully charged with lubricating oil (X cm³).

The new compressor is supplied filled with X = 120 cm³ of oil.

Before installing a new compressor, the calculated amount of oil must be drained from it. To calculate how much oil to drain from a new compressor, follow these instructions:

1. Remove the drain plug on the removed compressor.

2. Turn the compressor over and drain the oil by gravity into a calibrated container. Turn the compressor shaft by the clutch to make sure that the oil from the compressor is completely drained.

3. Record the amount of oil drained (Y cm³).

4. Determine how much oil to drain from the new compressor using the following formula:



5. Remove the drain plug from the new compressor and drain Q cm³ of oil.

6. Replace and tighten compressor drain plug.

Air conditioning components

When replacing air conditioning system components, add the following amounts of oil.

• Capacitor = 30cm³
• Evaporator = 30cm³
• Receiver drier = 15cm³
• Piping/hose = 5 cm³
