REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, TRACING LEAKS, WITH Leak Detection System :VAS6196 OR Leak Detection Kit :VAS6201A OR SUCCEEDING MODEL: Notes

2022 Volkswagen Tiguan S, FWDSECTION Notes
NOTE:

Small leaks can be detected using a UV-leak detection additive for example.

-- Evacuate the refrigerant circuit with the A/C Service Station. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, EVACUATING WITH A/C Service Station .

NOTE:

Be ready to evacuate a large leak should one be found. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, EVACUATING WITH A/C Service Station .

If no leak is found during evacuation or there is a leak that is so small that the location cannot be found, proceed as follows. Refer to SEARCHING FOR REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT LEAKS WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR NITROGEN .

Currents of air quickly disperse refrigerant gas. Drafts must therefore be avoided during leak detection.

If the refrigerant circuit is completely empty, fill with refrigerant to approximately 10% of the fill capacity (R134a label or vehicle-specific Service Information).
