Lincoln Nautilus: Climate Control System - General Information / Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor - 2.0L EcoBoost (184kW/250PS) – MI4. Removal and Installation
Removal
NOTICE:
If installing a new A/C compressor due to an internal failure of the
old unit, carry out the following procedures to remove contamination
from the A/C system. Failure to remove contamination from the A/C
system, if present, will result in poor A/C performance and/or damage to
the new A/C compressor and other components.
-
If A/C flushing equipment is available, carry out flushing of the A/C system prior to installing a new A/C compressor.
-
If A/C flushing equipment is not available, replace all contaminated components after a new A/C compressor has been installed.
-
Install a new Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) as directed by the A/C flushing.
-
Install a new receiver drier element as directed by the A/C flushing.
NOTICE:
During the removal of components, cap, tape or otherwise
appropriately protect all openings to prevent the ingress of dirt or
other contamination. Remove protective materials prior to installation.
NOTE:
Installation of a new receiver drier element is not required when
repairing the A/C system except when there is physical evidence of
system contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the
receiver drier element.
NOTE:
A new A/C compressor may come equipped with an A/C clutch disc and hub, A/C compressor pulley and A/C
clutch field coil already installed. If these components are not
pre-installed, it will be necessary to transfer these parts from the old
A/C compressor to the new compressor prior to installation of the A/C compressor if suitable for reuse.
