  Q: How to install a new A/C Condenser in a refrigeration system on Chevrolet Metro?

  A: Prior to installing a new condenser, add 20-30 ml (0.7-1 fl oz) oil to the refrigeration system. Disconnect the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system then drain the refrigerant and remove the Battery Cable. Begin your installation by removing the front Bumper followed by disconnecting the Hood Latch cable and moving the Hood Latch assembly out from its position. Disconnect the sir forward discriminating sensor electrical connector as well as the condenser fan electrical connector and both Horn electrical connections. The vehicle needs 1 bolt and Horn removed for fitting the receiver-dryer outlet-to-evaporator inlet pipe. First, remove a single nut along with discharge hose from condenser and maintain a sequence of unfastening six screws while removing radiator center brace. The condenser needs removal from the vehicle after you detach the 2 mounting bolts but keep the refrigerant system openings sealed with caps to stop moisture and dirt entry. Start by removing the 2 bolts along with the 2 screws that hold the condenser fan in place. Then detach the fan from its mounting position. You should secure the condenser fan onto the condenser by tightening both 2 bolts and 2 screws. Fasten the condenser to the radiator support through the installation of both bolt assemblies. The radiator center brace receives six screws for installation before the condenser fan connects to it using one bolt. Attach the condenser discharge hose with one handtightened nut to achieve 9.8 n.m (86.74 lb in) torque. The outlet-to-evaporator inlet pipe fitting of the receiver or dryer requires Horn installation using one bolt for attachment before connecting the Horn electrical connectors. Join the electrical connector of the condenser cooling fan to its sir forward discriminating sensor as well as the electrical connector. Place the Hood Latch cable followed by the front Bumper installation and reconnect the negative Battery Cable. Remove and recharge the air conditioning system before operating it and examining it for refrigerant leaks. Finally, enable the sir system.
