WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Hyundai Tucson. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/recycling/charging station (see REFRIGERANT RECOVERY ).

  6. Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • If you're installing a new condenser, add refrigerant oil.
    • Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a to avoid leakage.
    • Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
    • Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
    • Charge the system (see SYSTEM CHARGING ), and test its performance (INSPECT FOR LEAKAGE OF REFRIGERANT )
