Dryer Cartridge, Removing And Installing, From Receiver/Dryer On Condenser: Installing
There are different condenser versions as well as the desiccant bag installed inside them. Pay attention to the correct allocation.
Install in reverse order of removal and Note The Following:
- Check the receiver/dryer and the threads on the condenser via the opening for debris and damage. Refer to OVERVIEW - CONDENSER, DESICCANT BAG/DRYER CARTRIDGE .
- Replace the plug -A- and then both O-ring seals (included in the delivery of the dryer. Refer to OVERVIEW - CONDENSER, DESICCANT BAG/DRYER CARTRIDGE and Parts Information).
- Coat the O-ring seals lightly with refrigerant oil prior to installation. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT SEALS .
- Check the O-ring seals for proper seating in grooves of the respective components.
- Keep the desiccant bag sealed in its air-tight package as long as possible. Open the package just before installing the dryer cartridge in the receiver/dryer of the condenser. After opening the dryer cartridge absorbs moisture from the surrounding air in a very short time and becomes unusable. Refer to OVERVIEW - CONDENSER, DESICCANT BAG/DRYER CARTRIDGE .
-- Remove the desiccant bag from its package and insert in the receiver/dryer. Refer to OVERVIEW - CONDENSER, DESICCANT BAG/DRYER CARTRIDGE .
-- Install the plug -A- with the O-ring. Refer to OVERVIEW - CONDENSER, DESICCANT BAG/DRYER CARTRIDGE .
-- Evacuate and fill the refrigerant circuit. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, EVACUATING WITH A/C SERVICE STATION [R134a] or REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, EVACUATING [R1234yf] .
-- Install the remaining removed components.
-- Retrieve the Front A/C Display Control Head -E87- DTC memory and delete the displayed error if necessary. Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
-- Operate the A/C system after charging the refrigerant circuit. Refer to A/C SYSTEM, STARTING AFTER CHARGING REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT .
Read the information for starting the A/C system after filling. Refer to A/C SYSTEM, STARTING AFTER CHARGING REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT / A/C SYSTEM, GENERAL INFORMATION or A/C SYSTEM, OPERATING AFTER CHARGING [R1234yf] .
