  Q: How is the Rear A/C Evaporator Installed on Dodge Sprinter 3500?

  A:

  Adjust the refrigerant oil level before starting to install the rear A/C evaporator, to avoid A/C problems and possible harm to the compressor. In this case, where the rear evaporator is being replaced, add about 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigeration oil to the rest of the system. When working with any refrigerant line, don't just disconnect it; also change the O-ring seal inside to keep the line airtight. Set the rear A/C evaporator in the space inside the top of the rear evaporator housing and fasten the evaporator retaining bracket and screws, tightening them all to 3 Nm (26 in. lbs.). Connect the rear evaporator temperature sensor to its housing, then place the rear evaporator insulator and cover over it. Tighten all screws to 17 in. lbs. After that, connect the rear cover bracket to the rear condenser bracket and hold it in place with four bolts. Install and tighten the nut and bolt that secure the rear A/C suction line to the bracket for the rear condenser cover. Lay the rear condenser cover on your car and fasten it with screws that are tightened to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.). Insert the rear A/C Expansion Valve, link the negative Battery Cable back up and empty the rear refrigerant system. If the rear A/C evaporator was changed, put in 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil or follow the table in section 6.4 for more parts changes, always adding only the personalized refrigerant oil for the A/C compressor. The last step is to charge the rear refrigerant system.

  Q: How to Safely Remove and Service an Evaporator Core on Dodge Sprinter 3500?

  A:

  Service and repair the evaporator core by starting by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable. Restore the refrigerant in the rear refrigerant system and next remove the rear A/C Expansion Valve. Following this, unscrew the cover holding the rear condenser in place and lift it out of the top of your vehicle. Disconnect the nut and bolt holding the rear A/C suction line to the rear condenser cover bracket, then remove the four screws attaching the cover bracket to the rear condenser bracket and slide out the bracket. With the screws removed, take the rear evaporator cover and insulator out of the top of the vehicle. Take out the rear evaporator temperature sensor from its placement near the rear evaporator and set it out of the way. Using a screwdriver, loosen the screws of the evaporator retaining bracket on the back evaporator housing and get out the rear A/C evaporator from atop the housing.
