Attention! Do not attempt to disconnect the refrigeration path under any circumstances!
1. The only procedure that does not require disconnection of the lines of the refrigeration path is the replacement of the compressor drive belt. A detailed description of this procedure is given in the relevant Parts of the Chapter Current service. All other procedures are beyond the skill of the average amateur mechanic and should be entrusted to car service specialists.
2. If necessary, the compressor after removing the drive belt can be bolted off and moved to the side without disconnecting the lines in order to provide access to other components of the engine compartment.
