Section 9 (A/C Compressor Controls (Manual)): Condenser: Replacement

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 ).
  2. Remove the coolant reservoir, but do not disconnect the reservoir hose from the coolant reservoir and the radiator.
  3. Remove the bolt (A), then remove the radiator bracket (B) from the radiator.

  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 )
