Receiver drier

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1999 Volkswagen Golf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The receiver drier acts as a refrigerant reservoir for the system. Any moisture in the system is absorbed in the drier desiccant.

CAUTION: The R-134a receiver drier is identified with a green label and MUST NOT be used in R-12 systems (drier desiccant is only compatible with R-134a refrigerant). Likewise, NEVER use an R-12 receiver drier in an R-134a system.
