  Q: How to Remove an A/C Condenser on Dodge Avenger?

  A:

  First, unhook and block the negative Battery Cable, then take out the refrigerant from the refrigerant system before you remove the condenser. If your vehicle is a 2.0L diesel, take out the front fascia; but if it's a gasoline, you can skip this step. After that, take out the upper Radiator mounts from the support on gasoline engine models, so you can carefully move the radiator back to reach the A/C condenser. Unfasten the nut that is holding the A/C discharge line to the discharge jumper line, separate the lines and toss out the old O-ring and gasket. Bring out the nut holding the discharge jumper line to the A/C condenser and then bring out the bolt that secures the discharge jumper line against the radiator. Unhook the discharge jumper line from the A/C condenser and toss out the seal and gasket, then block the opening at the discharge, jumper line and condenser fitting with either a plug or tape. Connect a blower to the car and secure it above the vehicle, then reach in through the bottom of the front fascia to access the AC liquid line if you have a gasoline engine model. Get rid of the holding nut, separate the A/C liquid line from the A/C condenser and toss away the O-ring seal and gasket. After that, plug up any openings in the liquid line fittings and the condenser with either plugs or tape. Remove both bolts that hold the lower condenser brackets to the radiator, lower the car and detach the automatic transmission cooler lines from the left side of the A/C condenser if you have them (on some models, the automatic transmission cooler is mounted to the right side of the A/C condenser). After that, pick up the condenser from its bottom, let go of the top condenser brackets attached to the radiator and finally remove the condenser from the top of the engine bay.

  Q: How to Service and Install an A/C Condenser on Dodge Avenger?

  A:

  Before starting the condenser service, plug the refrigerant lines to protect the system from air contamination while substances are pumped out. To remove the condenser, move the Radiator next to the engine and take the unit out. It is important to refill a new condenser with 15 cm3 (0.51 fl.oz.) of SUN PAG 56 compressor oil during installation.
