What viscosity to use for my a/c compressor. I have a 2001 Jetta TDI. How much do I fill the drier and how much do I fill the compressor.
Do NOT put ANY oil in the drier. The compressor is the ONLY component which needs a significant amount of oil. Many new and re-man compressors already have the proper amount of oil in them. Consult the supplier to make sure. Too much oil is not good either. make sure you put the drier on last. Do not expose it to air for more than 15 minutes otherwise the dessicant will be full and you can toss it in the garbage. Flush the system with both of these off the car. A inline filter is not a bad idea if you had a compressor lock up.traviso said:What viscosity to use for my a/c compressor. I have a 2001 Jetta TDI.

Several good points here, but this one is often overlooked IMHO. The longer you can evacuate, the better the results will be.hevster1 said:Evacuate the system for AT LEAST 1 hour and preferably 2-3 hours or more.
