Refrigerant Line Coupler: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
On vehicles equipped with the 2.4L Turbo engine, a spring-lock type refrigerant line coupler is used to connect the liquid line to the A/C condenser. See Fig 1. A secondary retaining clip is installed over the connected coupler for added protection.
The spring-lock refrigerant line coupler requires a special disconnect tool for disengaging the two coupler halves.
