  Q: How to replace the Front A/C Hose on Cadillac XLR?

  A:

  Succeeding in a replacement of the air conditioning evaporator front tube begins with proper recovery of refrigerant from the a/c system. Start by removing the battery before unconnecting and taking off the a/c tube connector located at the evaporator rear line assembly. Cut the body retaining clip of the front evaporator inlet line along with its refrigerant pressure sensor electrical connector. The first step involves lifting the vehicle while supporting it before accessing the front evaporator inlet line to A/C Condenser lower bolt for removal. Fasten a proper cap or tape across all exposed a/c components before beginning to disconnect the front evaporator inlet from the A/C Condenser and throwing away the sealing washer. First detach the A/C Condenser by using either tape or caps then lower the automobile before removing the front evaporator inlet line from the evaporator rear line assembly while disposing the o-rings and using tape or caps to seal the assembly. Disconnect the surge tank outlet hose combined with the inlet heater hose from their position on the underhood junction box retainer clip before disconnecting the front evaporator inlet line from the vehicle. During installation the front evaporator inlet line belongs at the vehicle's front position while both the surge tank outlet hose and inlet heater hose must connect to the underhood junction box retainer clip . The evaporator rear line assembly requires removal of its caps or tape while new o-rings need installation. After attaching the front evaporator inlet line to the evaporator rear line assembly you should raise the vehicle and remove its cap or tape from the A/C Condenser. Use a new sealing washer for the front evaporator inlet line then connect it to the A/C Condenser while tightening its lower bolt to 16 n.m (12 lb ft). Lower the vehicle while you attach the front evaporator inlet line to both body retaining clips and refrigerant pressure sensor electrical connector. The procedure includes a restart of the a/c tube connector at the evaporator rear line assembly followed by battery installation and complete a/c system evacuation and recharging. The fittings of the component require leak testing using the halogen leak detector (J 39400-A).

  Q: How to Change the A/C Hose in a Cadillac XLR?

  A:

  The first step to install a new air conditioning evaporator front tube is to extract refrigerant from the a/c system. Discharge the battery power after detaching the a/c tube connector at the evaporator rear line assembly. The distributer of the front evaporator inlet line needs disconnection from the body retaining clip as well as from the refrigerant pressure sensor electrical connector . Raise and support the vehicle before removing the front evaporator inlet line to A/C Condenser lower bolt but ensure to cap or tape open a/c components to avoid contamination. Use hacksaw pliers to disconnect front evaporator line inlet from A/C Condenser then remove washing seal then tape up or apply a cap on the open A/C Condenser. Lower the vehicle while you disconnect the front evaporator inlet line from the evaporator rear line assembly and discard the o-rings by capping or taping the evaporator rear line assembly. The front evaporator inlet line removal requires you to disconnect surge tank outlet hose and inlet heater hose from the underhood junction box retainer clip. To set up the front evaporator inlet line users must first attach it to the vehicle then connect surge tank outlet hose and inlet heater hose at the underhood junction box retainer clip. Apply new o-rings on the rear evaporator line assembly and then remove the front evaporator rear-line assembly cap or tape. Raise the vehicle after joining the evaporator rear line assembly to the front evaporator inlet line and then remove the cap or tape from the A/C Condenser. The front evaporator inlet line requires a new sealing washer before connection to the A/C Condenser which must be tightened to 16 nm (12 lb ft). Lower the vehicle position and connect the front evaporator inlet line to the body retaining clip and at the same time install the refrigerant pressure sensor electrical connector . Before rehanging the battery the a/c tube connector installation will take place at the evaporator rear line assembly followed by an evacuation-charging process and leak test of component fittings using j 39400-a.
