Since 2001, you must always replace the accumulator/drier and orifice tube each time you change the condenser. Start by-emptying all air from the air conditioning system before proceeding. First, disconnect the power, drain the coolant, then take out the air filter. The
Radiator can be loosened from its holder so you can push it sideways. Use tools to carefully disconnect the refrigerant lines from the condenser that use bolted flanges. Taking the nuts off the bottom condenser studs is how you detach it from its posts. Tilt the condenser out of the car, then cap the lines to keep dust and water from getting in. When you bring back the original condenser, put its connection elements at the top to keep oil from leaking. Before you put in a new condenser, drop in 1 ounce of refrigerant oil first. Follow our installation directions, putting together the components backward of how you took them apart, making sure all the rubber pads below the condenser are in place and the seals around it are intact. Finish the process by letting an authorized shop empty, refill, and check for leaks the system after discharging it.
