With the engine cold, remove the engine
coolant thermostat and check that it is not
jammed in the open position.
Is it correct?
Check that there is no unwanted intake of
cold air into the passenger compartment
(seals, grommets, cables ...).
Repair if necessary
Does the fault persist?
Check the air inlets (particle filter)
and outlets.
Partially blocked air inlets or outlets
reduce the flow of heated air
into the
passenger compartment.
Repair if necessary.
Does the fault persist?
The heater radiator must be blocked. Remove
the radiator and clean or change it
(only valid for vehicles which have been
driven without the particle filter).

Clean or change the condenser.
If the fault persists, check the operation of
the cooling fan assembly at high speed
(ventilation and air conditioning
on maximum).
It should be:
- operating if high pressure≥ 20 bars
- stopped if high pressure≤ 15 bars
Is the operation of the fan assembly normal?
Check that the components which were removed are connected correctly.
Check that the system operates correctly.
A
With the vehicle stationary, engine running
at idle, air conditioning on maximum,
measure the pressure of the coolant circuit.
If the pressure is > 28 bars, there is :
- too much fluid,
- or the operation of the fan assembly is ab-
normal,
- or the condenser is clogged,
- or the engine heats up too much.
Is the pressure < 28 bars ?

Non regulated air conditioning.
With the air conditioning and ventilation on
maximum and the engine running at idle,
check that the compressor operates.
Does the compressor operate?
Connect the XR25 and enter G21*
(direct compressor control).
Does the compressor operate?
Check the pressure of the coolant circuit.
The compressor should cut in for:
- low pressure≥ 2 bars,
- high pressure≤ 28 bars.
Is this correct?
Check the wiring between
the heating and ventilation computer
and the compressor clutch.
Repair if necessary.
Check that the components which were removed are connected correctly.

REMOVAL
Drain the R134a coolant circuit.
Disconnect the battery.
Remove:
- the compressor drive belt,
- the two connecting pipes (A),
- the retaining strut bolt (B),
- the three compressor retaining bolts (C).
Remove the compressor.
NOTE: it is essential to place plugs on the pipes
and on the compressor to prevent the entry of hu-
midity into the circuit.
REFITTING
If it is changed, the compressor is supplied filled
with oil.
Position the compressor the correct way round
(filler plug facing upwards).
Tighten the three bolts (C) (Tightening torque:
2.1 daN.m).
Fit the strut retaining bolts (B).
Refit the two R134a coolant pipes (A) on the
compressor (Tightening torque:
2.1 daN.m).
Fit the drive belt and tension it.
Create a vacuum, then fill the R134a coolant cir-
cuit using the filling equipment.
NOTE: when refitting the connecting pipes on the
compressor, it is essential to fit all the bolts, then
bring them into contact before torque tightening
them. The aim is to ensure that the pipe is positio-
ned correctly so that it is not damaged at the cut
off (1).
Check the condition of the seals and lubricate
them with
P.A.G. SP 10 oil.
IMPORTANT
When changing the compressor, it is essential to
top up the oil.
