Note. Do not turn on the air conditioner if you know that the system is low on refrigerant, as this may damage the compressor.
1. The only procedure that can be easily performed without discharging the refrigerant is to replace the accessory drive belt (it also serves to drive the compressor), which is described in chapter 1A or 1B. All other operations should be left to a Peugeot/Citroen dealer or other air conditioning specialists.
2. If necessary, after removing the drive belt, unscrew the bolts, remove the compressor and move it to the side without disconnecting the hoses from it.
Attention! Do not attempt to unload the refrigerant from the system yourself. Please refer to the precautions in paragraph 11.
