24 - Heating and Air Conditioning/Plumbing/EVAPORATOR, A/C/Removal

REMOVAL

NOTE: / LHD model shown. RHD model similar.
1. / Remove the HVAC housing
2. / Disassemble the HVAC housing as necessary to access the A/C evaporator (1).
3. / Open the rubber seal (1) and carefully lift the A/C evaporator (2) and insulator (3) out of the lower half of the HVAC housing (4).
4. / If required, remove the rubber seal from the lower half of the HVAC housing. If the seal is deformed or damaged, it must be replaced.
5. / If required, remove the insulator from the A/C evaporator. If the insulator is deformed or damaged, it must be replaced.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: / Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system. Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level will prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
NOTE: / When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to the refrigerant system
NOTE: / If only the A/C evaporator is being replaced, add 60 milliliters (2 fluid ounces) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
NOTE: / Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
NOTE: / LHD model shown. RHD model similar.
1. / If removed, install the insulator (3) over the A/C evaporator (2). If the seal is deformed or damaged, it must be replaced.
2. / If removed, install the rubber seal (1) into the lower half of the HVAC housing (4). If the seal is deformed or damaged, it must be replaced.
3. / Install the A/C evaporator into the lower half of the HVAC housing. Make sure that the evaporator drain within the HVAC housing is clean and unrestricted and that the insulator and rubber seal are properly installed.
4. / Assemble the HVAC housing
5. / Install the HVAC housing
6. / If the A/C evaporator is being replaced, add 60 milliliters (2 fluid ounces) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to the refrigerant system. Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
