Adding PAG oil when replacing condenser/drier ?
Hi folks,
Am in the process of changing my condenser & drier on a 2002 V70 D5 – will be posting a detailed write up to help others in future.
Would appreciate some advice to finish the job off:
Can someone confirm the correct PAG oil is PAG 100 ?
How much PAG oil to add when replacing components:
Internet search shows I should add around 25 to 30 cc for the condenser so that seems ok.
But the figures for the drier vary a lot more – between 95cc and 25 cc – depending on where you look - does anyone have any definitive figures for this car – maybe someone could look on VIDA and see if defines them ?
There are various refs saying you should pour out the old oil, and measure it and put back in the same amount – but almost nothing comes out and anyway I would expect the condenser has a lot stuck to its large inner surface area and the drier has desiccant in which I imagine would absorb (or at least retain) some oil so it wouldn’t come out ?
Thanks
Julian
PS – My VIDA not working at the mo – need to sort out the “patch” issue
