  Q: How to Service and Repair an A/C Condenser on Chrysler 300?

  A:

  To take care of your condenser, evacuate the refrigerant from the system and remove the negative cable from the battery. Unscrew the front fascia and cut the lines of the automatic transmission cooler from the left of the A/C condenser. Install plugs in or cover the fitting ends and ports for the automatic transmission cooler with tape. After that, pull off the A/C discharge hose and the A/C liquid hose from the condenser and relocate the power steering fluid cooler so it's not in the way. Remove the receiver/drier from inside the A/C condenser and take out all four bolts that hold the A/C condenser to the Radiator. Tilt the A/C condenser down at the bottom and lower it gently from underneath the vehicle. If you're replacing the A/C condenser, put 30 milliliters of oil specified for the AC compressor into the refrigerant after installing the condenser. Should you find that brackets are needed, put them onto the A/C condenser and then position the A/C condenser onto the radiator, connecting them with the four bolts tightened to 5 N.m. Finally, add the receiver/drier to the A/C condenser and the power steering fluid cooler to the A/C condenser. Bring the A/C discharge line and A/C liquid line to the condenser before removing any tape or plugs from the automatic transmission cooler and cooling lines and ports. Add the automatic transmission hoses to the colder ports at the top of the A/C condenser, fit the front fascia and return the negative Battery Cable to its socket. Once these steps are done, empty your shop of fluids, Evans your refrigeration system and check or fill up the transmission fluid as necessary.

  Q: How to Maintain the A/C Condenser to Prevent System Malfunction and Compressor Damage on Chrysler 300?

  A:

  It is necessary to check and set the refrigerant oil level to protect the A/C system from failure and stop the compressor from being damaged. Should you need to replace a number of A/C parts, use the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to decide on the oil amount. Only add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil when performing a replacement of the A/C condenser alone. Repair and replace the refrigerant line O-rings and gaskets when detaching lines from your appliance to avoid leaks. Make sure the A/C's Radiator and condenser air seals are in good position for ideal cooling of both the engine and the A/C. Fit the A/C receiver/drier onto the A/C condenser as required and then mount the condenser to the radiator using four tightened bolts of 5 Nm (44 in. lbs.). Take away all plugs and tape from the ends of the refrigerant lines and the condenser and then install the A/C discharge and A/C liquid lines into the refrigerant line tapping blocks. For a 3.0L diesel equipped vehicle, make sure to install the charge air cooler. Connect the two power steering cooler lines first, making sure all clamps are tight and then set up the cooler ports to receive the automatic transmission cooler lines. Add the front fascia and then reconnect the negative Battery Cable. Remove the refrigerant before adding 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil if your condenser is being replaced. Refrigerant needs to be charged and the automatic transmission level checked, repairing if low.
