HEATER & COOLING UNIT ASSEMBLY
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of low-pressure flexible hose and high-pressure pipe 1 with new ones, and then
apply compressor oil to it when installing it.

Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.

Insert piping securely until a click is heard.

After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection
does not come loose.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
NOTE:

When filling radiator with coolant, refer to CO-11, "Changing Engine Coolant" (VQ35DE) or CO-40,
"Changing Engine Coolant" (VK45DE).

Recharge the refrigerant.

Removal and Installation of EvaporatorNJS000HW
REMOVAL
1. Remove low-pressure pipe 1 and high-pressure pipe 2. Refer to ATC-161, "Removal and Installation of
Low-pressure Pipe 1 and High-pressure Pipe 2" .
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of evaporator, low-pressure flexible hose and high-pressure pipe 1 with suit-
able material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
2. Slide evaporator, and then remove it from heater & cooling unit
assembly.
3. Remove intake sensor from evaporator, and then remove evap-
orator.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of low-pressure flexible hose, low-pressure pipe 1 and high-pressure pipe 1, 2
with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.

Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.

Insert piping securely until a click is heard.

After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection
does not come loose.

O-rings are different from low-pressure flexible hose (high-pressure pipe 1) and low-pressure pipe
1 (high-pressure pipe 2).

Mark the mounting position of intake sensor bracket prior to removal so that the reinstalled sen-
sor can be located in the same position.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
