Note:
For Passat Jetta and NB 1.8T and 2.0T from June of 2014 to February 2015 production a mix of Denso and
Sanden compressors were installed. The N280 valve is for Sanden compressors only. Be sure to check
the compressor type installed before replacing the N280 valve.

Technical Bulletin
One or more of the following conditions are exhibited:
•
The air conditioning does not cool, or the cooling performance is very weak.
•
The air conditioning system cools, but the compressor is noisy. The noise is characterized as a grinding or
groaning noise.
•
Either symptom may be intermittent.
•
No DTCs are stored.
Note:
The AC performance test must be completed before performing this procedure to eliminate any other
fault conditions. It is mandatory for all compressor reimbursement. See TB 2043704 for information on
performing the AC performance test.
Technical Background
The condition may be caused by a faulty A/C compressor regulator valve N280 (Sanden). The internal
components of the valve can be obstructed and incapable of full function. This loss of refrigerant regulation from
N280 can cause noise from the air conditioning compressor and/or affect the HVAC cooling.
Figure 1 N280 Refrigerant Regulating Valve 1K0260839
Note:
This bulletin applies to vehicle built with Sanden 1K0820803, 1K0820808 and SC0820803 compressors only. The
replacement N280 valve is not compatible with other Sanden compressors . The N280 valve is not compatible with
any Denso compressors .
If a Denso compressor is installed on the vehicle this bulletin does not apply. Further diagnosis is
required. See TB 2043704 for information on performing the AC performance test.

Production Solution
No production change required.
Service
Since either symptom may be intermittent, the diagnostic process can affect the reproducibility of the
condition. Begin the diagnosis by isolating the cause before performing the basic checks.
Connect both the refrigerant service station
(Figure 4) and the diagnostic tester to the
vehicle.
Figure 4. Robinair A/C Service Unit.
Cases of noise:
When diagnosing cases of noise, use chassis ears or a technician's stethoscope to make sure that the root cause
of the noise is from the air conditioning compressor. The noise can change or may be absent depending on the
setting on the HVAC control unit. In many cases, the noise is more pronounced with the system switched OFF.
Cases of low or no cooling performance:
Note:
All faults in Guided Fault Finding and the AC performance test must be completed before performing this
procedure to eliminate any other fault conditions. It is mandatory for all compressor reimbursement. See
TB 2043704 for information on performing the AC performance test.

Technical Bulletin
Rule out a refrigerant circuit leak as the root cause. Evacuate the refrigerant circuit to determine the refrigerant
volume. The refrigerant volume will likely be in specification. Should the refrigerant volume be too low, investigate
a potential refrigerant leak in the circuit. It is not likely that the refrigerant level will be too high because if it is, a
OTC will be stored. If no system leak is determined, recharge the circuit with the specified amount of refrigerant
before proceeding.
Perform the following diagnostic steps:
With the engine at idle, switch the climate control unit to full cold and full fan.
Turn recirculation mode on and close all windows.
Using the diagnostic tester, go to Guided Functions.
Monitor the measuring value for the air
conditioner compressor regulating valve N280
signal (Figure 5).
The actual and specified values will be
plausible and will show a normal regulating
range of current for cooling request (0.400 A
- 0.820 A).
Figure 5. Checking N280 signal value Measuring Value Block.
After verifying the compressor should be on
and operating check the gauge readings on
the Robinair® service station. If the gauges
show no pressure generation from the
compressor continue to the next step.
(Example of no pressure generation is
when the pressure readings on the high
and low sides are equalized in Figure 6).
Figure 6. Equalized pressure condition. No pressure generated
from compressor.
Note: If the gauge readings are
showing normal compressor operation per
the Elsa Repair Manual, this bulletin does
not apply and further diagnosis is
required.

Check that the compressor torque limiter has
not been activated (Figure 7b).
I Note: If the torque limiter has been
released the N280 regulating valve is not
at fault. The compressor needs to be
replaced.

For MY2016 vehicles with Sanden AC
compressor 1K0820808H make sure the
compressor clutch is engaged when the AC is
switched on.
If clutch is not engaging perform diagnosis of
the compressor clutch J44 test.
Check that adaptation channel 9 and is set
at 1 for clutch enabled. (See TT 87-16-01 ).
I Note: If the AC compressor clutch is not
engaging this bulletin does not apply.

module.
Select Measurements.
Select oscilloscope.
Change time division to 2ms/Div (Figure 10).
Figure 10. Select Measurements from operating mode menu".
Select the correct DSO channel according the
test leads hooked to the vehicle (Figure 10).

Change the voltage to SVDiv.
Check the signal wave form (Figure 11). The
square wave signal should be between 75%

If the wave form signal is good, the
mechanical integrity of the N280 valve needs
to be inspected.

Removing/Installing the N280 Regulating valve.
Recover the refrigerant from the system. Remove the N280 valve using the following procedure.
A
~
WARNING:
With the refrigerant circuit charged the N280 valve is under pressure. Be certain that the refrigerant
circuit is completely discharged before removing the N280 valve.
Remove one of the A/C lines from the compressor to assure the pressure in the compressor is the same
as ambient pressure.
1. Remove circlip-A- carefully.
Circlip must be reused .
2. Carefully remove the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve
-N280- -B- from the A/C compressor mount -C-, using a
suitable screwdriver -D-, for example (Figure 13).

Assess the condition of the N280 valve bore
and the valve filter screen (Figure 14). If severe
contamination is found in valve bore there is a
risk of damaging the replacement valve on
installation In these cases the A/C compressor
must be replaced.
A slight amount of debris or corrosion does
not present a risk and does not justify
replacement of the AC compressor.
Figure 14. Corrosion in the N280 valve bore.
Should severe contamination be found at the
valve filter screen (Figure 15) and A/C
compressor replacement becomes necessary,
ensure that the refrigerant circuit is flushed in
the course of repair.
Small random particles on the filter screen
does not constitute "severe" contamination
and does not justify replacement of the A/C
compressor.
Figure 15: Severe contamination at the N280 valve filter screen.
•
If little or no corrosion or contamination is found perform Repair Procedure A: Replacing the N280 regulating
valve.
•
If corrosion and contamination is found, perform Repair Procedure B: A/C compressor replacement.
•
Document the all workshop findings of this procedure on the repair order.

Repair Procedure A: Replacing the N280 regulating valve
Note:
The refrigerant circuit must be flushed when the N280 valve is replaced.
Be sure to use the Robinair AC service station to record the oil extracted during evacuation to ensure the
correct amount of oil is added back to system after reassembly.
For this procedure always replace the receiver drier and expansion valve after flushing the refrigerant circuit.
The flushing procedure can be found in Elsa at: Heating , Ventilation & Air Conditioning»Refrigerant R134a

1. Check the A/C compressor mount -C- and the
circlip groove for dirt, and if necessary, clean
them carefully and thoroughly with a clean, lintfree cloth (Figure 16).
Figure 16: Prepare mount for N280 installation.
I
Note:
Risk of damaging another N280 Valve or compressor may result due to dirt contamination or damage to the
sealing surfaces in the mount.
•
If necessary, carefully clean the A/C compressor mount -C- using only a clean , lint-free cloth. DO NOT use
compressed air.
•
Make sure while cleaning the mount -C- that no dirt gets into the area underneath the O-ring sealing surface F- or the existing channels and none of the mount sealing surfaces become damaged .

The replacement Sanden compressor will come with the
specified type of PAG oil G 052 154 A2 (Figure 19).
I
Note:
The compressor comes with a full charge of oil for the
entire refrigerant circuit. However the amount of PAG oil
supplied with the replacement compressor may not be
the exact amount to replenish the refrigerant circuit.
Drain and measure the PAG oil in the replacement
compressor to determine the required amount. If the
amount needs to be adjusted, do so using the correct
type of PAG oil specified in ETKA. Refer to Elsa for the
correct oil capacity for the compressor being installed.
