Additional Parts Requiring
Replacement for Warranty
Accumulator or Drier - The
accumulator or drier must be replaced with the compressor. The
drier may be either attached to the condenser or part of the condenser.
Orifice Tube - The orifice
tube must be replaced with the compressor. If equipped. Some
orifice tubes are an integral part of the liquid line and therefore the
liquid line must also be replaced.
Liquid Line -
If this vehicle is equipped
with a liquid line. The orifice tube is located inside the liquid line.
When trying to replacing the orifice tube it may break apart inside the
line or you may not be able to remove it. If this happens you will need
to replace the complete liquid line (A new liquid line will come with
the orifice tube already installed) or use a captive orifice tube repair
kit. The orifice tube repair kit comes with an aluminum tube (Including
orifice tube) that is spliced onto the original liquid line.
Inline Screen Filter - If this
vehicle is equipped with an inline screen filter which must be replaced
with the compressor.
Condenser -
If this vehicle is equipped with a parallel flow
design condenser, this type of condenser can not be properly flushed and
must be replaced. Not replacing the condenser could lead to failure of
your new compressor. Most mechanics are not up to date on their A/C
training and will not know this condenser can not be properly
flushed.
Expansion Valve -
If this vehicle is equipped with an expansion
valve and you had a major compressor failure (Compressor locked up, Clutch
burnt or shaft seal blowout) you could have debris in the
system.
Note: Failure to replace the
above parts will void your warranty.
Don't Forget To Have Your System Flushed!!
When replacing any of the parts in the A/C system the system should be
completely flushed. When a part fails (especially the compressor),
sludge, debris and possibly metal shavings may be present in the system.
Failure to flush the system will introduce the debris into your new
parts and shorten the life of the parts dramatically. Failure to have
your system flushed will void your compressor warranty.
