These brief and simple instructions will allow us to dismantle and replace the air conditioning compressor of the Volvo S40. First, let's lift the vehicle and start removing the front right wheel and the lower plastic engine cover; then we disconnect the air conditioning compressor's trapezoidal belt by unplugging its electrical connector and unscrewing all the fastening screws to remove it, as shown in the video.
