I tried fitting a new condenser to my 2004 B6 and found the connectors are slighly smaller so the old one has gone back on. Now i need to do a 150 mile round trip to take the new one back so am i ok without a recharge as long as i don't turn on the A/C?
I did not see any oil come out of the system so i'm guessing there will still be some in there to lubricate things.
The Compressor section of the Air Con/Climate control FAQs says
"The pulley on the compressor is driven permanently by the engine. When the air con is switched on an electro-magnetic clutch is pulled in to connect that drive to the compressor."
It sounds like i should be ok but i thought it was best to ask
Thanks in advance
Jason
