A/C condenser replacement 700 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be ringlee on  Thu May 2 07:15 CST 2002 [RELATED]

To replace the condenser in a 90+:
-Remove grill, top grill cover panel, and upper radiator support member
-Remove the front air baffle, air filter intake and sensor connectors to condenser
-Remove bottom air baffle between spoiler and radiator bottom
-Disconnect condenser
-Remove by lifting straight up (careful of chrome!) and once removed, measure the oil that drains out the old one if any
-Remove pressostat sensors
-Install foam rubber seals on new condenser (remove from old) and rubber bushings on bottom and/or top
-Reinstall using new o-rings coated with correct compressor oil
-Torques: to condenser: 25 Nm (18.4 ft-lb)
from condenser: 20 Nm (14.8 ft-lb)
-Reinstall other parts and connectors and recharge system. If you had a leak leading to discharge, then convert to R134. Install the correct amount of oil.
