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 1K0820808 B>H and 5C0820803 B>G 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.

Technical Bulletin
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.

Technical Bulletin
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.
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
DTC 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).

Technical Bulletin
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).
Note: If the torque limiter has
been released the N280 regulating
valve is not at fault. The
compressor needs to be replaced.

Change the voltage to 5VDiv.
Check the signal wave form (Figure

be between 75% and 100%.
If the wave form signal is good, the
mechanical integrity of the N280 valve
needs to be inspected.
GO TO: Removing/Installing the

Removing/Installing the N280 Regulating valve.
Recover the refrigerant from the system. Remove the N280 valve using the following procedure.
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.
Note:
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.
Note:
A slight amount of debris or
corrosion does not present a risk
and does not justify replacement of
the AC compressor.

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.
Note:
Figure 15: Severe contamination at the N280 valve filter
screen.
Small random particles on the filter
screen does not constitute
“severe” contamination and does
not justify replacement of the A/C
compressor.
 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, lint-free cloth
(Figure 16).
Figure 16: Prepare mount for N280 installation.
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.
1. Check the O-rings -F-, -G- ,-Hand -E- (if applicable) of the A/C
Compressor Regulator Valve N280- -B- for damage.
2. Coat the O-rings -F-, -G-, -H- and E- (if applicable) of the A/C
Compressor Regulator Valve N280- -B- lightly with refrigerant oil
and check for proper seating
(Figure 17).

The refrigerant circuit must be flushed every time the air compressor is replaced.
The replacement A/C compressor comes with a full charge of oil for the entire refrigerant system.
Therefore the A/C circuit must be flushed of all original oil form the entire refrigerant circuit.
For this procedure always replace the receiver drier and expansion valve after flushing the refrigerant circuit.

The replacement Sanden compressor will come with the
specified type of PAG oil G 052 154 A2 (Figure 19).
Note:
The compressor comes with a full charge of oil for the entire

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
