This may get you started. If you want more, please PM me. There are several diagrams and sub-assembly instructions.

Thank you kindly. Was able to R&R compressor through inboard side of front left wheel.
So far so good. Any unique procedures for uploading freon?

Here are two more relevant sections from the IETIS manual. In the capacities chart, the right column is US measurement. The one immediately to the left of the right column is Imperial measurement and the other column is Metric.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. AC working great with no leftover parts, escaped with only minor scratches!

Glad you got through it. What's a DIY project without a few scratches? No leftover pieces? That's no fun.

I have an AC problem with a 2005 Bentley GT, think I need to replace AC compressor and expansion valve. Could you please help me out with a diagram to help me with the job? Thank you
