A/C Efficiency Test:

Turn on A/C compressor at a vehicle interior temperature of 50° Celsius.

After 2-3 minutes, evaporator sensor temperature must be 10° Celsius.

Draw off A/C system if this temperature is not reached. Measure amount of refrigerant drawn off. Refer to 64

50 009 DRAWING OFF, EVACUATING AND FILLING A/C SYSTEM (R 134A).

If drawn-off quantity does not correspond to specified fill quantity: supplement refrigerant and repeat test. Refer

to HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING - TECHNICAL DATA - COOPER (1.6L) R50/W10 .

If fill quantity is correct, continue troubleshooting by pressure measurement.

If necessary, then continue troubleshooting by pressure measurement.
