Line-A/C Discharge
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The A/C discharge line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C compressor (2) to the A/C condenser and includes the high side service port (3).
NOTE:
Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals is required anytime a refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals could result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C discharge line has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals and the high side service port valve and cap. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C discharge line is removed.
The A/C discharge line cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be leaking or damaged.
