Audi Q3: Component Location Overview - Components Outside of Passenger Compartment
Component Location Overview - Components Outside of Passenger Compartment,
Front Component Group "1"
Note
Depending on the engine version to support the engine
coolant pump an After-Run Coolant Pump -V51-/Heater Support Pump
-V488- may be installed (different designations depending on the
engine) (not shown in this illustration). Refer to
→ Engine Mechanical; Rep. Gr.19; Coolant System/Coolant
(Connection Diagram for Coolant Hoses) and
→ Wiring diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component locations.
The After-Run Coolant Pump -V51-/Heater Support Pump -V488- can
be actuated in "stop mode" (engine stopped) to maintain the
coolant flow rate through the heater core for the heater on with
a cold engine or on vehicles with a Start/Stop System.
1 - A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-
- Installed inside the A/C compressor
- To check, refer to Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault
Finding" function, refer to
→ Chapter "A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-, Checking Switch-On
Signal" and
→ Wiring diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component locations.
Note
- Certain functions on the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- (for
example, a stuck valve or a disruption in the coil) can lead to a
complaint regarding the A/C compressor (A/C system doesn't cool, the
evaporator ices over, etc.). If the cause is with the A/C Compressor
Regulator Valve -N280- (and not the A/C compressor itself), the A/C
compressor can be serviced by replacing the A/C Compressor Regulator
Valve -N280-. Refer to
→ Refrigerant R134a Servicing; Rep. Gr.87; Refrigerant Circuit
Components, Replacing (Refrigerant R134a, Servicing;
Refrigerant Circuit Components, Replacing).
- The A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- is not available as a
replacement part for all A/C compressors. If the A/C Compressor
Regulator Valve -N280- is not available as an individual A/C compressor
part (different versions), then the entire A/C compressor must be
replaced. Refer to the Parts Catalog.
