First, cut off the connection of the negative
Battery Cable, wait till it cools and then remove the refrigerant inside the system. Unscrew the nut holding the block fitting onto the stud on the condenser inlet and disconnect the discharge line. Be sure to put plugs or covering tape over every opened refrigerant line fitting. After that, take out the fitting that holds the liquid line into the condenser outlet, covering the openings with either plugs or tape. If you have a gasoline engine model, pull out the two mounting screws that hold the upper condenser brackets to the radiator crossmember, tilt the condenser forward so you can grab the top with your hands, raise it to remove the lower condenser locator screws and pull out the condenser from under the vehicle. For diesel engines, undo the two screws that fix the passenger side brackets on the condenser to the charge air cooler, then take off the two nuts attaching the driver side end of the condenser to the cooler. When setting up on gasoline powered models, lower each of the two mounting brackets onto the isolators, tilt the condenser to connect the upper bracket holes with the upper edge of the radiator crossmember and secure with two screws, fastening them neatly to 10.5 Nm (95 in. lbs.). For diesels, slide the driver side brackets in place over the studs on the charge air cooler, add two screws to the passenger end of the condenser, tighten to 10.5 Nm and then put on the nuts on the driver side side of the condenser and secure them just like the screws. After removing the plugs or tape, put the liquid line piece into the condenser outlet. Lay the new gasket over the stud on the condenser inlet, then install the discharge line block fitting by tightening the nut on it with a torque wrench to 20 Nm (180 in. lbs.). Be sure all seals around the condenser and radiator are correctly in place, reconnect the car's battery negative terminal, remove the refrigerant from the system and fill it with refrigerant. If the condenser is new, put 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of the proper oil (recommended by the manufacturer) for the compressor system into the refrigerant system.
