Q: How to replace the A/C Condenser on Chevrolet Camaro?
A: Start by recovering the refrigerant through a halogen leak detector (J 39400-A). The intake duct requires both removal of the air intake duct and disconnection of its iat sensor connector. Proceed by taking off the radiator support followed by raising then supporting the vehicle. First take the air conditioner compressor hose assembly nut off the condenser before throwing away the o-ring. Check out the condenser first and remove the bolt securing the a/c evaporator tube while discarding the o-ring. From the condenser remove both the component radiator air upper baffle and remove the condenser itself from the radiator. The first step for assembly involves setting the condenser directly on the radiator then putting on the radiator air upper baffle. Use a new o-ring and fasten the evaporator a/c tube bolt onto the condenser using 16 n.m of torque (12 lb ft). Attach the condenser to the a/c compressor hose assembly nut after installing a second fresh o-ring but maintain a torque setting of 16 n.m (12 lb ft). After lowering the vehicle you must reattach the radiator support with the air intake duct in place. Finish installation by connecting the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor connector to the air intake duct followed by evacuating and charging the refrigerant system while conducting a halogen leak detector (J 39400-A) inspection on component fittings.
Q: How to replace the A/C Condenser in the HVAC system on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: The necessary tools for condenser replacement in the hvac system begin with the halogen leak detector (J39400-A). Start by taking away the Radiator while also recovering refrigerant from the hvac system. Starting with removal of the receiver dryer followed by the condenser inlet hose bolt and its accompanying inlet hose. After removing the outlet hose bolt first and outlet hose next take off the condenser from its mounts connecting to the Radiator. Refrigerant oil installation follows before new condenser placement enables mounting of the unit onto the Radiator during component migration from the previous condenser. Mount the condenser on the Radiator beforeinstalling its retaining bolts at a torque of 28 n.m (21 lb ft). Secure the receiver dryer onto position first before installing the condenser inlet hose with its bolt and tighten the connection to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Install the condenser outlet hose with its corresponding bolt followed by bolt tightening to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). The last steps require you to replace the Radiator and perform system evacuations and recharges before running the halogen leak detector (J39400-A) on all fittings.
Q: How to properly service and replace an A/C Condenser on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: You must recover the refrigerant before replacing the condenser. Begin by removing the bolt connecting the compressor hose assembly and situate the assembly and evaporator hose assembly apart from the condenser. Disassemble the Radiator component then retrieve the condenser unit from the Radiator housing. Place the condenser in the proper position to the Radiator before tightening its mounting bolts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Install the Radiator assembly to the vehicle and add cooling system fluid before joining the compressor hose assembly and the evaporator hose assembly to the condenser. The ultimate procedure includes evacuating then charging the refrigerant system.
