Notice where each air seal for the radiator/condenser is attached before removing the condenser, because they channel air effectively through the device and must go back in properly for it to work well. First, disconnect and set aside the negative
Battery Cable, then recover the refrigerant from the system. On cars with the diesel 2.0L engine, take off the front fascia; if you have a gasoline engine, push the upper
Radiator Support up and place it aside. Push the radiator gently toward the rear in order to reach the A/C condenser. Take out the securing nut from the A/C discharge line on the right side of the A/C condenser, throw away the old seal and gasket and cover the discharge opening and condenser inlet port with plugs or tape. Lift the vehicle, remove the nut securing the liquid line to the right side of the A/C condenser, take out the A/C liquid line, discard the O-ring and gasket and place plugs or tape onto the liquid line where it was removed and the condenser opening. Take out the two bolts holding the lower condenser brackets to the radiator and then lower the vehicle and if the automatic transmission cooler is fitted, disconnect its lines from the left of the A/C condenser. For cars fitted with the 2.0L diesel engine, take out the charge air cooler. The last step is to lift the A/C condenser straight from underneath, pull the upper condenser brackets off the radiator and remove the condenser from the engine section.
