To remove the A/C accumulator from the vehicle, which is mounted on the passenger's side at the end of the condenser, you must first have the refrigerant discharged and recovered. Afterward, you need to remove the large plug at the bottom of the A/C accumulator. This can be done by using needle-nose pliers to grip and extract the filter-drier element inside the accumulator. For the installation process, essentially reverse the removal steps. Begin by inserting a new element and lightly lubricating the plug's O-ring with a bit of refrigerant oil. Finally, it's necessary to have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested. If the A/C accumulator or condenser was replaced with a new unit, you should add new refrigeration oil to the system. Ensure to use only refrigerant oil that is compatible with R-134a refrigerant.

Some models have a traditional A/C accumulator, which is mounted at the right front of the engine compartment. Models that do not have a separate A/C accumulator have one that is built into the side of the condenser. First, have the refrigerant discharged by an air conditioning technician. Then, disconnect the negative battery cable. If the A/C accumulator is integral with the condenser, use an Allen wrench to detach the end plug and remove the accumulator from the condenser with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Use new O-rings when installing the new accumulator and tighten the end plug. Be sure to lubricate the O-rings with R-134a compatible refrigerant oil. Installation is the reverse of removal. If the A/C accumulator is separate, disconnect the refrigerant lines from the A/C accumulator and cap the open fittings to prevent the entry of moisture. Unscrew the two mounting bolts and remove the A/C accumulator. Loosen the clamp bolt and slide the A/C accumulator out of the bracket. Install the new A/C accumulator by reversing the removal procedure. If a new A/C accumulator is being installed, add 20cc (0.71 ounce) of R-134a compatible refrigerant oil to it before connecting the lines. Be sure to install new O-rings on the refrigerant lines, and lubricate them with R-134a compatible refrigerant oil, before connecting the lines. Finally, have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.

Firstly, ensure the refrigerant is discharged by an air conditioning technician. Then, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Proceed to remove the condenser and using an Allen wrench, detach the end plug and remove the A/C Accumulator from the condenser. To secure the end plug, ensure it's tightened properly. Finally, have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested by the same shop that discharged it. If the receiver was replaced, request them to add the proper amount of refrigeration oil to the compressor. Only use compressor oil that is compatible with R-134a refrigerant.

Take the vehicle to a dealer service department or automotive air conditioning shop and have the air conditioning system discharged and the refrigerant recovered. Using an Allen wrench, detach the end plug and remove the A/C Accumulator from the condenser with a pair of needle-nose pliers after the system has been discharged. Use new O-rings when installing the new A/C Accumulator and tighten the end plug securely. Be sure to lubricate the O-rings with R-134a compatible refrigerant oil. Installation is the reverse of removal. Have the system evacuated, charged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.

To replace the A/C accumulator and condenser in an air conditioning system, follow these steps. Firstly, have the refrigerant discharged and recovered by an air conditioning technician. The condenser, located adjacent to the radiator, needs to be removed from the vehicle. Use an Allen wrench to remove the large plug from the A/C accumulator and then use needle-nose pliers to extract the filter-drier element inside the A/C accumulator. When reinstalling, ensure the new filter-drier element is properly in place and lubricate the plug's O-ring with refrigerant oil. Once the replacement is complete, have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested by the same shop that discharged the refrigerant. If the A/C accumulator or condenser was replaced, make sure to add new refrigeration oil to the system. It is essential to use refrigerant oil that is compatible with the refrigerant being used.

The end plug should be tightened properly to secure it.

To remove the A/C accumulator, it is necessary to have the refrigerant discharged and recovered from the system. The A/C accumulator is located on the passenger's side of the vehicle, at the end of the condenser. Using an Allen wrench, the large plug at the bottom of the A/C accumulator should be removed. The filter-drier element inside the A/C accumulator can be extracted by gripping it with needle-nose pliers. For installation, follow the reverse order of the removal process. Install a new filter-drier element and ensure that the plug's O-ring is lubricated with a small amount of refrigerant oil. Afterward, the system needs to be evacuated, charged, and leak tested. If either the A/C accumulator or condenser was replaced, it is important to add new refrigeration oil to the system. It is crucial to use refrigerant oil that is compatible with the R-134a refrigerant.

This component is only on 2006 and earlier models. On later models, it is an integral part of the condenser. First, have the refrigerant discharged by an air conditioning technician. Then, disconnect the negative battery cable. After the system has been discharged, unbolt the two refrigerant lines from the A/C accumulator and cap them to prevent entry of moisture. Next, loosen the clamp bolt and slip the A/C accumulator out of the bracket. Installation is the reverse of removal. Finally, have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested by the shop that discharged it. If the A/C accumulator was replaced, have them add about 20 cc (0.71 oz) of refrigeration oil to the compressor. Use only compressor oil compatible with R-134a refrigerant.
