It is important to check the refrigerant oil level during the installation of the A/C condenser to both avoid A/C problems and possible compressor damage. Change the A/C receiver/drier if the compressor has internal failure, to protect the new compressor from harm. When it's time to replace the condenser, be sure to add 60 milliliters (2 fluid ounces) of the approved refrigerant oil to the system. Whenever you disconnect refrigerant lines, put on new rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets to prevent leaks. Be sure that the
Radiator and condenser air seals are installed in the best place for good cooling. If you find you need it, install the A/C receiver/drier onto the right side of the A/C condenser. For manual transmission cars, push the radiator rearward and set the A/C condenser in front, fastening it with five bolts turned to 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.). On automatic transmission vehicles, connect the primary cooler line adapter with updated O-rings, position the A/C condenser and attach it with five bolts. Secure the charge air cooler for cars with a 2.8L diesel engine using four bolts. After that, add the cooling fan and fan shroud and finish with the
Grille. Open the refrigerant line fittings and condenser ports, give new rubber O-ring seals a coating of oil and put them on along with gaskets. Attach the two AC connections to the AC condenser and fasten the nuts at 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.). For 2.8L Diesel engines, the air outlet hose goes to the CAC. Add the coolant recovery container and link up the negative
Battery Cable again. When the A/C condenser is changed or when several parts are swapped, drain the refrigerant system, add the specified refrigerant oil and recycle the refrigerant as usual. Also, for cars with an automatic transmission, remember to look after and top off the fluid in the automatic transmission tank when necessary.
