1.1 Safety Precautions when Working on

A/C Systems
WARNING
Ignition sources are extremely dangerous and pose a risk of

explosion
Ignition sources near the A/C system and refrigerant con‐
tainers are extremely dangerous and pose a risk of explo‐
sion. Leaking refrigerant can ignite and lead to an explosion.
Death or serious bodily injury by explosion.
– Never bring ignition sources near A/C systems and refriger‐

ant containers.
– Discharge electrostatic and prevent sparks resulting from
striking tools and hot surfaces.
Caution
There is risk of destroying the refrigerant lines.

The refrigerant lines can be destroyed by ripping through the
inner foil.
– Never bend the refrigerant lines to a radius smaller than r =

100 mm.

Vehicles with Start/Stop System
WARNING
There is a risk of injury from the engine starting unexpected‐

ly.
The engine can start unexpectedly on vehicles with an acti‐
vated Start/Stop System. A message in the instrument clus‐
ter indicates whether the Start/Stop System is activated.
1. Safety Precautions 1
Jetta 2018 ➤
– Deactivate the Start/Stop System: switch off the ignition.
1.3 Safety Precautions during Road Test

with Testing Equipment
WARNING
There is a risk of personal injury if testing equipment is not

secured properly.
If the front passenger airbag deploys during an accident,
then testing equipment that is not secured properly can be‐
come a dangerous projectile.
– Secure the testing equipment to the rear seat with a strap.

or
– Have a second technician operate the testing equipment
from the rear seat.

Cooling System
WARNING
There is a risk of scalding from hot coolant

The cooling system is under pressure when the engine is
warm. There is a risk of scalding from hot steam and coolant.
– Wear safety gloves.

– Wear protective eyewear.
– Reduce the pressure by covering the coolant expansion tank
cap with a cloth and carefully opening it.
1.5 Safety Precautions when Handling Re‐

frigerant
WARNING
There is a risk of getting frostbite from the refrigerant.

Refrigerant can come out under pressure when working on
the A/C system. Frostbite on the skin and other parts of the
body is possible.
– Wear safety gloves.

– Wear protective eyewear.
– Extract refrigerant and open the refrigerant circuit immedi‐
ately.
– If more than 10 minutes have elapsed since evacuating the
refrigerant and the refrigerant circuit was not opened, evacu‐
ate the refrigerant again. Evaporation can cause pressure to
develop in the refrigerant circuit.
2 Rep. Gr.00 - General, Technical Data

Jetta 2018 ➤
WARNING
Risk of asphyxiation and poisoning from the refrigerant

Dry coughing and nausea due to suffocation and poisoning is
possible due to refrigerant fumes.
– Never breathe in refrigerant fumes.

– Only perform procedures on the refrigerant circuit in well
ventilated areas and store in refrigerant container.
– Never perform procedures in and near basement staircases
or other below ground areas.
– Switch on the exhaust extracting system.

Vehicles with Parking/Auxiliary Heater
WARNING
The parking/auxiliary heater poses a risk of fire and explosion

In areas that are subject to fire and explosion, a spark or the
high temperature of the parking/auxiliary heater can ignite a fire
or cause an explosion. It is possible to be burned.
– In areas that are subject to fire and explosion, switch off the
parking/auxiliary heater.
WARNING
There is a risk of being poisoned by the exhaust fumes

The parking/auxiliary heater produces toxic exhaust fumes.
Injury to the respiratory system and poisoning are possible.
– Only switch on the parking/auxiliary heater in closed areas

with an exhaust extracting system.
– Switch off the parking/auxiliary heater in closed areas with
no exhaust extracting system.
WARNING
Starting the engine may cause damage.

When fuel system components and parking/auxiliary heater
coolant circuit components are removed or open, then the
parking/auxiliary heater may become damaged.
– Never start the engine when these system components are

removed or opened.
1. Safety Precautions 3
Jetta 2018 ➤
WARNING
Air in the fuel supply causes malfunctions

After working on the fuel tank or the fuel delivery unit, the
metering pump draws in air and sends the air to the park‐
ing/auxiliary heater. Air in the parking/auxiliary heater fuel
supply may cause parking/auxiliary heater malfunctions.
– Fill the fuel extraction line with fuel.
WARNING
There is a risk of accident and injury when the parking/auxili‐

ary heater timer is activated.
For vehicles with an activated timer for the parking/auxiliary
heater, the parking/auxiliary heater can turn on unintentional‐
ly. Being poisoned by exhaust fumes and being burned by

♦ The engine speed exceeds 1200 RPM.
♦ The Generator -C- is faulty, for example, the ribbed belt is
torn.
♦ Coolant temperature not in specified range of 25 °C - 100 °C
(77° - 212 °F).
♦ Increasing the blower speed by more than four increments.
Additional Information:
♦ Refer to Self Study Program 426 Start/Stop System 2009 for
more information.
2.4 Dust and Pollen Filter Information
Note
♦ Different filters are planned for this vehicle depending on the

equipment level.
♦ On vehicles without an A/C system and on vehicles with
electronic-manually regulated A/C system (each without the
Air Quality Sensor -G238-), a dust and pollen filter without
an activated charcoal element is installed at the factory.
When servicing, a dust and pollen filter with an activated
charcoal element may also be installed in these vehicles.
Refer to the Parts Catalog.
♦ On vehicles with Climatronic (with Air Quality Sensor -
G238-), a dust and pollen filter with an activated charcoal
element is installed at the factory. Refer to the Parts Cata‐
log.
Dust and Pollen Filter with Activated Charcoal Insert

The dust and pollen filter with an activated charcoal insert is
only installed on vehicles with Air Quality Sensor -G238-.
The activated charcoal filter continues to function as a dust
and pollen filter, but it can also filter out gaseous pollutants,
for example ozone, benzene, nitrogen dioxide, etc. from the air
flow. The basic task of the activated charcoal layer in the dust
and pollen filter is to keep load peaks out of the vehicle interior.
The activated charcoal also has the task of removing certain
gaseous pollutants from the air flowing through. The activated
charcoal layer in the dust and pollen filter reacts differently to
various pollutants in the air:
♦ Certain pollutants bond permanently in the activated char‐
coal layer.
♦ Others are converted into non-hazardous compounds, as in
a catalytic converter.
♦ For the rest the activated charcoal works as a condenser.
With an increasing load, so many pollutants are absorbed
until a certain saturation is reached. If the amount of pollu‐
tants decreases, the activated charcoal layer continuously
releases the absorbed particles.
2. General Information 7
Jetta 2018 ➤
Under the following operating conditions, the dust and pollen

filter should be replaced earlier than specified, because a por‐
tion of pollutant particles is permanently bonded to the activated
charcoal layer.
♦ If the vehicle is driven in areas with heavy air pollution.
♦ If the vehicle is driven with the “automatic recirculating air
mode” switched off.
Note
♦ The activated charcoal layer in the dust and pollen filter is

saturated after a certain time.
♦ A saturated filter can no longer absorb pollutants and allows
them to pass unhindered.

3.1 Guidelines for Clean Working Condi‐

tions
Risk of Malfunctions Due to Contamination
When working on the A/C system, the following “7 rules” of
cleanliness must be carefully followed:
♦ Clean connection locations and the surrounding area thor‐
oughly before removals.
♦ Immediately seal off any open lines and connections with
clean plugs taken from the Engine Bung Set -VAS6122-, for
example.
♦ Place removed components on a clean surface and cover.
Use lint-free cloths.
♦ Carefully cover or seal opened components if repairs are not
performed immediately.
♦ Only install clean parts: remove the replacement parts from
their packaging just before installing them. Do not use any
parts that have been kept out of packaging (for example, in a
toolbox).
♦ Do not work with compressed air when the system is open.
Do not move the vehicle.
♦ Protect any disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture,
and only connect them when they are completely dry.
3.2 Bolts and Nuts
♦ Tightening specifications are given for bolts and nuts without

lubrication.
3. Repair Information 9
Jetta 2018 ➤
♦ Always replace self-locking bolts and nuts.

♦ Always replace bolts and nuts with an additional turn.
3.3 Line Routing and Securing

♦ To avoid interchanging the lines and to ensure the original
installation location, mark the lines/hoses for fuel, hydraulics,
vacuum, EVAP system or electrical wires before removing.
Draw sketches or take pictures if necessary.
♦ Due to the tight working conditions, make sure there is suffi‐
cient clearance in the engine compartment for all moving or
hot components to prevent damaging the lines.
♦ Check the routing of the refrigerant lines after attaching.
They must be inserted into the provided brackets and must
not come in contact with other components.
3.4 Radiator and Condenser Assembly

♦ The radiator and condenser may have small indentations on
the fins even when installed correctly. This is not damage.
Do not replace the radiator or condenser because of those
small indentations.
♦ Slight deformations on the side condenser securing straps
(for example, due to an accident) that result in an unparallel
flow from the condenser and radiator can be repaired by
pulling the straps back as long as the function/condenser
sealing is not impaired. The condenser does not need to be
replaced if there are small deformations on the straps.
♦ A slight bending of the condenser (up to 4 mm) is permis‐
sible as long as there is sufficient distance (minimum 4
mm) between the condenser and the radiator and the func‐
tion/sealing of the condenser is not impaired. The condenser
does not have to be replaced if there are slight deformations.
3.5 Heating Output, Checking
Note
♦ This repair manual only outlines the testing procedure. Per‐

form the exact test as written in the Vehicle Diagnostic Test‐
er in the Guided Fault Finding function.
♦ If the coolant system is not bled completely after being filled,
then air can get into the heater core for the heater. This
will reduce the heating output and noises may result or the
customer may complain there are different air temperatures
coming out of the driver side and front passenger side vents.
Corrective Measure for Poor Heating Output or Noises from

Coolant Circuit
– Perform a longer test drive at higher engine speeds (at least
10 minutes, engine speed above 2500 rpm). Select a lower
gear during the test to prevent excessive vehicle speed.
– If the customer complains of poor heating output at certain
engine speeds, check the integration of the heater core in
the coolant circuit. If both engine coolant hoses (supply and
return) are interchanged, then coolant is flowing in the wrong
direction through the heater core. Refer to ⇒ Rep. Gr. 19;
Cooling System/Coolant.
– For vehicles with a parking/auxiliary heater, check the acti‐
vation of the Recirculation Pump -V55- for the parking heater

Jetta 2018 ➤
as well as the incorporation of the parking heater in the

coolant circuit.

3.8 Vehicles with A/C System, Painting

When performing paint work repairs, object temperatures of 80
°C (176 °F) must not be exceeded in drying booths or their
pre-heating areas.
Exposure to heat creates considerable pressure in the system,
which could cause it to burst.
3.9 Refrigerant Circuit Seals

♦ Replace the seals after removing.
♦ Coat the seals with refrigerant oil before installing.
♦ Make sure the seals -1- are positioned correctly on the pipe
or in the groove -arrow-.
♦ Ensure cleanliness when working. Even the smallest con‐

taminant, a hair for example, can cause a leak.
♦ Only install seals that are resistant to refrigerant R134a or
R1234yf and the corresponding refrigerant oil. These seals
are color-coded to eliminate the risk of interchanging. Refer
to Parts Catalog.
♦ In addition to the color-coded seals, black seals are also
installed during production for certain connections.
The dimensions -a and b- are different depending on the com‐
ponent location of the seals. Refer to the Parts Catalog.

4.2 Refrigerant Oil Capacities

There are different refrigerant oils depending on the manufac‐
turer. Refer to the Parts Catalog for the part number.
Refrigerant oil strongly attracts moisture. Because of this, refrig‐
erant oil that was stored for long periods of time in an open
container is unusable.
Refrigerant oil, because of its chemical properties, must not be
disposed of with engine oils or transmission oils.
– Close opened containers immediately after use to prevent
moisture contamination.
– Refer to⇒ Fluid Capacity Tables; Rep. Gr. 03
Note
If there is uncertainty about the amount of refrigerant oil in the

refrigerant circuit, the refrigerant circuit must be flushed with
refrigerant R134a or refrigerant R1234yf. Refer to ⇒ Refriger‐
ant R134a Servicing; Rep. Gr. 00; Refrigerant Circuit, Remov‐
ing Contaminants; Refrigerant Circuit, Flushing with Refrigerant
R134a or ⇒ Refrigerant R1234yf General Information; Rep.

4.3 Oil Distribution

♦ When the A/C system is being used, the refrigerant oil that
was in the A/C compressor before switching on the A/C
system for the first time is distributed throughout the entire
refrigerant circuit.
♦ The distribution of the refrigerant oil in the refrigerant circuit
varies depending on the last operating conditions of the A/C
system before switching it off, the ambient temperatures,
etc. A general statement about the refrigerant oil distribution
in the refrigerant circuit is therefore not possible. Pay atten‐
tion to the information about the replacement of refrigerant
circuit components. Refer to ⇒ Refrigerant R134a Servic‐

8.2 Air Quality Sensor -G238- Function

♦ Sensor for air quality detects pollutants in the surrounding air
(mostly gasoline and/or diesel fumes).
♦ The Climatronic Control Module -J255- evaluates the signal
from the Air Quality Sensor -G238-. The A/C system is acti‐
vated depending on the strength and type of polluted air.
♦ At an outside temperature greater than approximately 2 °C
(36 °F), the recirculating air mode is switched on when there
is only a slight increase in the pollutant concentration.
8. Additional Components for Control and Regulation 159

Jetta 2018 ➤
♦ At an outside temperature between approximately 2 °C (36

°F) and approximately -5 °C (23 °F), the change over to
recirculating air mode only occurs at a sharp increase of
the pollutant concentration, during which the compressor is
switched on at the same time.
♦ At an outside temperature less than approximately -5 °C (23
°F), the system still only changes to recirculation mode when
there is a strong increase in the pollutant concentration.
However, it only switches on for approximately 15 seconds
and the A/C compressor does not switch on. If the concen‐
tration decreases, the A/C system switches to the fresh air
mode.
♦ The “automatic recirculating air mode” function can be
switched off at any time. If the function is active, the A/C
compressor is switched on with a request for “automatic
recirculating air mode” and also when the outside air temper‐
ature is below 2 °C (36 °F). If the temperature is below -5 °C
(23 °F), it is not possible to use the A/C compressor.
♦ If the vehicle has “automatic recirculating air mode”, the A/C
compressor can also be switched on up to a temperature
of approximately -5 °C (23 °F). This also occurs when the
recirculating air mode was manually switched on.
♦ To ensure that the A/C system does not operate constantly
in the recirculating air mode in areas with a consistently
higher pollution, the sensor is self-learning (it adjusts its sen‐
sitivity to the environmental conditions).
♦ If the outside air pollution load remains relatively high for a
long period of time, the sensor starts to adapt to the altered
environmental conditions through an adaptation program.
This is so that a recirculating air command is generally ap‐
plied for less than 12 minutes if the surrounding air pollution
is even. If a succession of peaks in the polluted air is detec‐
ted, the A/C system can operate over a longer period of time
in recirculating air mode.
♦ A certain amount of time is required for repositioning of the
A/C system doors. In the event that a sudden increase in
pollutants is encountered (for example, when driving through
a diesel exhaust cloud), gaseous pollutants can be taken in
with the fresh air into the passenger compartment until the
fresh air door is closed. For this reason, a dust and pollen
filter is installed with an activated charcoal layer. A filter that
is saturated with pollutants is no longer effective and needs
to be replaced.
♦ To avoid the recirculation/fresh air door from shifting too
frequently, a slight increase of pollutants in the ambient air
does not cause it to shift immediately (the sensor does not
send a request to the Climatronic Control Module -J255-).
The filtering of the activated charcoal insert in the dust and
pollen filter will be sufficient.
♦ In order to avoid frequent shifting of the recirculating air/
fresh air door, the requirement from the sensor for “automat‐
ic recirculating air mode” remains for at least 25 seconds
(minimum duration period), even if the pollutant concentra‐
tion is so far reduced that recirculating air mode is no longer
necessary.
♦ If the A/C compressor is switched off (the A/C button is off),
then the Climatronic Control Module -J255- limits the “auto‐
matic recirculating air mode” to approximately 15 seconds to
prevent the windows from fogging up.
♦ So that foggy windows are cleared as quickly as possible,
the Climatronic Control Module -J255- does not permit recir‐
culating air mode when “Defrost” mode is on.

Jetta 2018 ➤
♦ The Air Quality Sensor -G238- requires approximately 30

seconds to be ready for use once the ignition has been
switched on (warm-up time). During this time there is no
request from the sensor to the Climatronic Control Module
-J255- for “automatic recirculating air mode”.
♦ The Air Quality Sensor -G238- contains a highly sensitive
electronic component which can be damaged if it comes in
direct contact with solvents, fuels or certain chemical compo‐
sitions. For this reason, do not install sensors that may have
come into contact with these substances.
