Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This compressor is specifically designed for the Ford C-Max Diesel MPV 1.5. Verify your vehicle's make, model, and year before purchasing.
Setup:
- Ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected before commencing work.
- Safely evacuate the existing refrigerant from the AC system.
- Remove the old compressor.
- Install the new D2P compressor, ensuring proper alignment.
- Crucially, fill the compressor with exactly 150 ml of the specified AC oil if not pre-filled or if the system requires flushing.
- Install the pulley and connect the AC lines securely.
- Reconnect the battery.
- Evacuate the system and recharge with the correct amount of refrigerant according to manufacturer specifications.
- Leak test the system thoroughly.
- Start the engine and test AC performance.
Care: The primary care for an AC compressor is ensuring the AC system is properly maintained. This includes regular checks for leaks, ensuring correct refrigerant and oil levels, and listening for any unusual noises. Avoid running the AC system when it is severely low on refrigerant, as this can damage the compressor.
