Technical Service Bulletin 87-18-02 - Air Conditioning Does Not Cool and / or Compressor is Noisy Transaction No: 2038368/15 Release date: 5/12/20 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). Figure 1 N280 Refrigerant Regulating Valve 5Q0260839A Note: This bulletin applies to vehicle built with Sanden 5Q0820803C, 5Q0820803E and 5Q0820803G 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. Production Solution Improved -N280- valve for the Sanden A/C compressor CW34/16.

Technical Service Bulletin 87-18-02 - Air Conditioning Does Not Cool and / or Compressor is Noisy Transaction No: 2038368/15 Release date: 5/12/20 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 2) and the diagnostic tester to the vehicle. Figure 2. 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 and the Guided Fault Finding AC performance test must be completed before performing this procedure to eliminate any other fault conditions. Submit GFF log with performance test through GFF paperless for reimbursement. See TB 2043704 for information on performing the AC performance test. Rule out a refrigerant circuit leak as the root cause. If the GFF performance test determines low refrigerant this bulletin does not apply. The refrigerant leak should be resolved before continuing diagnosis. Should the refrigerant volume be too low, investigate a potential refrigerant leak in the circuit. 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. Page 3 of 17 © 2020 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

Technical Service Bulletin 87-18-02 - Air Conditioning Does Not Cool and / or Compressor is Noisy Transaction No: 2038368/15 Release date: 5/12/20 Monitor the measuring value for the air conditioner compressor regulating valve N280 signal (Figure 3). 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 3. 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 4). Figure 4. 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 5b). Note: If the torque limiter has been released the N280 regulating valve is not at fault. The compressor needs to be replaced. Figure 5a. Example of torque limiter over load protection Page 4 of 17 © 2020 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

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 10). Figure 10. Circlip / N280 removal Assess the condition of the N280 valve bore and the valve filter screen (Figure 11). 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. Figure 11. Corrosion in the N280 valve bore. Should severe contamination be found at the valve filter screen (Figure 12) and A/C compressor replacement becomes necessary, ensure that the refrigerant circuit is flushed in the course of repair. Note: Figure 12: 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. Page 7 of 17 © 2020 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
