41. Install the electromagnetic clutch coil (for
Linnig clutch, refer to PART 3). Position cable
lead near the 2 o’clock position.

FIGURE 32

42. Slip the coil on the retainer on the compressor
flange. Fasten the coil with 4 cap screws
#5001775 to the compressor.
Use blue Loctite 243.
Caution: parts should be clean and free from
debris. Pay attention to the precise seat of
coil. The coil should sit flush with the face of
the compressor.

43. Mount the rotor on the shaft end.
The flange and the shaft end of the
compressor must be clean and free from dirt.
The flange and the shaft end of the
compressor must be free from dirt. Apply
high temperature approved assembly
grease on the shaft end for easy
dismounting
of
the
clutch.
Lang
recommends the use of Molykote G-rapidplus or Molykote P 40.

44. Carefully mount the rotor on the shaft end by
hand.

FIGURE 34

Never use a hammer for pressing the rotor on.
Align the key on the compressor shaft with the
keyway on the pulley bore. To avoid
damaging the bore of the rotor, feel the
engagement of the key in the keyway and slip
the rotor on the shaft end of the compressor
till reaching the stop (FIGURE 32).
The Woodruff key on the shaft end and the
groove in the location hole of the rotor must
be flush.
45. Fasten the rotor to the shaft end using the
M12 screw and by holding-up with a wrench
on the rotor.
46. Turn rotor by hand and pay attention to the
free run and the generation of noises. In case
of grinding or similar noises, dismount the
clutch and check installation.
USE BLUE LOCTITE 243 ON THREADS

47. Reinstall A/C compressor drive belts.
A belt strand tension gauge is needed. Belt
tension should be within the following range:


90-100 lbs new belts (mean of 2 belt
values)



75-85 lbs used belts (mean of 2 belt
values)

Single 5VX810 belt (FIGURE 37)

48. Apply blue Loctite 243 on bolt B threads and
then hand-tighten bolt B. Adjust belt tension
using bolt A. Use the jam nut at the base of
bolt A to keep proper tension adjustment.
Note: Once thread locker is applied, do not
wait too long before applying final torque.
When proper tension is achieved, tighten bolt
B to 43 lbf-ft. (58 N-m).

FUNCTIONAL TEST
1. Reset main circuit breakers if applicable. Set the battery master switch (master cut-out) to the ON
position and start the engine. Make sure that the charging system is working normally.
On the instruments cluster, the alternator telltale

illuminates if the alternators are not charging.

PART 3 – ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC CLUTCH – LINNIG LA16

Assembly instruction:
1.

Attach coil according to instruction manual of the compressor manufacturer. Connect cable in a
way that avoids contact with hot components (only if coil contents a cable). t max = 105°C

2.

Remove circlip and holding-down bolt from clutch- assembly. Slide clutch-assembly onto
compressor shaft. Look through the center-hole for a correct position of the compressor shaft key
in the rotor-keyway. Rotor should turn freely without touching the coil. Consider the control mark!
Insert and tighten holding-down bolt M12 (tightening torque Ma = 85 Nm, Ma = 63 lbs-ft). Hold
down the rotor with an open-ended spanner or ring spanner WAF41. Insert circlip.

3.

Slide pulley over the stud screws (1) and bolt on with nuts M8 DIN 934-8 (2) (only for LA16.3; for
other LA16 is pulley integrated part of the clutch).
Connect cable respectively connector. The connection is independent of polarity. Allowed
operating voltage 21–32 VDC.

4.

Disassembly instruction:
For disassembly grease circlip (do not remove circlip) and turn the holding-down bolt left to
loosen. Hold down the rotor with an open-ended spanner or ring spanner WAF41. In this way the
clutch will be disconnected from the cone-shaft.

PART 4 –HOT SIDE SINGLE BOSCH ALTERNATOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

DANGER
Park vehicle safely, apply parking brake, stop engine. Prior to working on the vehicle, set the ignition
switch to the OFF position, the battery master switch (master cut-out) to the OFF position and
trip the main circuit breakers equipped with a trip button.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK


The alternator is connected to the batteries through master relay R1. If the ignition switch is in the
OFF position and the battery master switch (master cut-out) is set to the OFF position, there should
not be electrical power to the alternator terminals. However, a faulty master relay R1 could
eventually leave the battery power circuit closed, thus electrical power would be present at the
alternator terminals.



Using a multimeter, probe the alternator B1+ terminal and the ground terminal. Make sure that the
voltage reading is 0 volt prior disconnecting the alternator cables.

HOT SIDE SINGLE ALTERNATOR REMOVAL
1. Rotate the automatic belt tensioner A
clockwise using a ½ square drive breaker
bar and then remove the alternator drive
belt B.

FIGURE 41

MI16-17F / Page 22 / 26

2. Cut the nylon ties securing the cables to
the alternator and then disconnect the
alternator cables A, B & C. Properly clean
cable lugs as applicable using a brass wire
cup brush, a Scotch-Brite pad or an emery
cloth.
Keep hardware for reuse.

3. Remove the alternator. To do so, unscrew
the two (2) mounting bolts identified on
FIGURE 43.
Keep hardware for reuse.
