Evaporator Core: Service and Repair
A/C Evaporator - Installation
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system See: Specifications/Capacity
Specifications/Refrigerant Oil Capacity . 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 systemSee: Specifications/Capacity Specifications/Refrigerant Oil Capacity .
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 disconnected. 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 foam seal (2) over the tapping block of the A/C evaporator (1). If the seal is deformed or damaged, it must be replaced.
2. Install the A/C evaporator into the lower half of the HVAC housing (3). Make sure that the evaporator drain within the HVAC housing is clean
and unrestricted and that the insulator around the A/C evaporator is properly installed.
3. Assemble the HVAC housing See: Housing Assembly HVAC/Service and Repair/Overhaul/HVAC Housing - Assembly.
4. Install the HVAC housing assembly See: Housing Assembly HVAC/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/HVAC Housing - Installation.
5. 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 See:
Specifications/Capacity Specifications/Refrigerant Oil Capacity. Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the
vehicle.
