  Q: How to Service and Repair an A/C Accumulator on Dodge Magnum?

  A:

  First, take out the refrigerant from the refrigerant system and remove the negative Battery Cable. Take away the front panel, then decide which screw to remove to let go of the A/C accumulator mounting bracket at the A/C Condenser's right side. Remove the A/C accumulator from the condenser and take the dual-plane seal out; afterward, install plugs in or use tape to cover both the A/C accumulator fitting and the ports on the condenser. Remember to put 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of oil into the refrigerant system when you change the A/C accumulator. With the engine running, position the A/C accumulator in the engine area and attach it to the central connection at the rubber seal, but do not use the tape or the original plug. After removing the old rubber plug and tape from the ports of the A/C condenser and A/C accumulator connection, put a new dual-plane seal in place onto the upper A/C accumulator fitting using only the R-134a system's official seal. Connect the A/C accumulator to the condenser at the top right, put in its bolt and tighten to 16 ft.lbs. (22 N.m). The next step is to attach the A/C accumulator bracket to the A/C condenser and screw it down so it holds at 5 N.m (44 in.lbs.). After finishing the front fascia work, put it back on, attach the negative cable to the battery again, get rid of the refrigerant and charge the required amount.

  Q: How to Install the A/C Accumulator on Dodge Magnum?

  A:

  Make sure the refrigerant oil is adjusted before you install the A/C accumulator. When an internal failure of the A/C compressor happens, replace the A/C accumulator before installing a new compressor. The Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart will tell you how much oil is needed when replacing several A/C components. If you only replace the A/C accumulator, put in 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of recommended refrigerant oil. It is important to change both the O-ring seals and gaskets each time you want to work on the refrigerant line. Install the accumulator in the engine, completely remove any plugs or tape from the fitting and A/C Condenser ports, oil the new dual-plane seal with clean refrigerant oil and put it onto the accumulator fitting. Route the accumulator into the opening of the A/C condenser and join them with bolt 4, tighten to 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.). Place and secure the accumulator mounting bracket 2 to the A/C condenser using screw 1 tightened to 5 Nm (44 in. lbs.). Attach the front fascia, hook up the negative cable to the battery, remove the refrigerant from the system and if replacing the A/C accumulator, inject 30 ml (1 fl oz) of refrigerant oil. Following this, charge all the refrigerant in your system.
