2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the A/C Condenser on 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: The refrigerant recovery step comes first when you replace a condenser unit. The Radiator and a/c line coupling must be detached from the condenser tube's connection to the evaporator tube. Start by removing the a/c compressor line nut from the condenser before moving the a/c compressor line to a safe position. You can then properly take out the condenser from the car. Thoroughly dispose of the o-ring seals together with the seal washer. Before installing the new condenser into the vehicle you should add refrigerant oil to it. First install a new seal washer onto the a/c compressor hose then add new o-ring seals to the evaporator tube before connecting the evaporator tube to the condenser. The a/c line coupling gets fastened first to the evaporator tube and then to the condenser tube before connecting the a/c compressor hose to the condenser. Fasten the a/c compressor hose block fitting nut to a torque setting of 17 n.m (12.5 lb ft). First reinstall the Radiator then perform an a/c system evacuation and recharge the system. The halogen leak detector (J 39400-A) should be used to test for leaks from component fittings.
