2002 Dodge Neon A/C Condenser Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to Replace a Damaged or Leaking A/C Condenser on 2002 Dodge Neon?

  A: There are no parts on the condenser, so it needs to be changed if it develops any damages or leaks in front of the engine radiator. Prior to removing any refrigerant, it should be recovered using a machine made for R-134a refrigerant. Remove the battery support strut first, then disconnect the refrigerant tubes from the condenser, unmount the upper radiator fasteners and undo the condenser to radiator mounting screws. Pull up the front of the radiator to take out the condenser. When installing, first tilt the radiator back and place the new condenser in your car, then use the condenser to radiator screws and upper radiator mounts to secure it. Attach the refrigerant lines to the condenser, insert the battery support strut and tighten all the condenser refrigerant lines to 5 Nm (45 in lbs). Make sure you dispose of the refrigerant and then add the correct amount to the A/C system.
