2007 Chevrolet Impala Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the A/C Condenser in the HVAC system on 2007 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: The hvac system's condenser replacement process begins with a proper refrigerant recovery method. You should start by taking away the Radiator and then break the coupling between the evaporator tube and condenser tube while disconnecting this pair. After disconnecting the a/c compressor line nut from the condenser you should set the line aside before moving on to condenser removal from the vehicle. Remove all o-ring seals as well as the seal washer from the system. When installing a new condenser add refrigerator oil before setting it back into the vehicle. Finally, put on a fresh a/c compressor hose seal washer before adding new o-ring seals to the evaporator tube. Attach the evaporator tube to the condenser while you secure the a/c line coupling between the evaporator tube and condenser tube. When reconnecting the a/c compressor hose to the condenser maintain a firm grip on the A/C Condenser block fitting with either a 20mm wrench or pliers to stop the hose from twisting prior to tightening the a/c line nut. The a/c compressor hose block fitting should be torqued to 17 n.m (12.5 lb ft). Evacuate and recharge the a/c system before running tests with the halogen leak detector (J 39400-A) on all fittings of the system.
