General Information
Vehicles with a High Voltage System (Hybrid Vehicles)
Extremely Dangerous Due to High-Voltage
The high-voltage system is under high-voltage. Death or serious
bodily injury by electric shock.

Leaking or Damaged Components except A/C Compressor, Reservoir or
Receiver/Dryer
The refrigerant circuit was completely empty (for example
with larger leak or cracked hose)
Note
In the event of only a minor leak with slow escape of
refrigerant (e.g. at a small leakage
Compressor, Replacing without the Need for Flushing Refrigerant Circuit
Note
Cleaning the refrigerant circuit means flushing with
refrigerant R134a. Refer to
→ Chapter "Refrigerant Circuit, Cleaning (Flushing), with
Refrigerant R134a".

Note
As PAG (polyalkylene glycol) oil is highly hygroscopic
(attracts water), opened containers are to be immediately
resealed so as to be air-tight.
PAG oil from containers which have been open for a lengthy
period is no longer usable.

Flushing Circuit Block Diagrams
Note
The arrows in the following illustrations show the direction
of refrigerant flow during flushing (refrigerant flows in
opposite direction of flow when Air Conditioning (A/C) system is
in operation while flushing, therefore the high pressure side of
the A/C service system is connec
