Taurus V6-195 3.2L DOHC SHO (1994)
the amount of refrigerant oil drained from the old A/C compressor is less than 90 ml (3 oz), pour 90 ml (3 oz) of clean refrigerant oil into the new
A/C compressor.
9. Install the new A/C compressor. Be sure all mounting bolts are tightened properly. Check the tension of the A/C compressor drive belt. Adjust it if
necessary.
Filter For Nylon Hose
10. Install the suction filter in the suction hose close to the A/C compressor. The suction filter shown in the illustration is for the nylon lined core hose.
These filters have two grooves in the end tubes to accommodate 0-ring seals.
11. Remove a length of the suction hose (close to the A/C compressor end) to accommodate the suction filter and install the filter using A/C hose
clamps. Be sure the filter is correctly oriented for the refrigerant system flow. Check the label on the filter. If using the filter for a nylon lined hose,
install 0-ring seals included in the kit (two on each filter tube).
12. Leak test, evacuate, and charge the A/C system.
13. Check all refrigerant system hoses, lines, and the positioning of the newly installed filters to be sure they do not interfere with the other engine
compartment components. If necessary, use tie straps to make adjustments.
14. Set the A/C control on MAX A/C, high A/C blower motor operation and the temperature control at full cold. Start the engine and let it idle briefly.
Make sure the A/C system is operating properly.
15. Gradually bring the engine up to 1200 rpm by running it at lower rpms for short periods (first at 800 rpm, then at 1000 rpm). Set the engine at
1200 rpm and run it for an hour with the A/C system operating.
16. Stop the engine.
17. Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system using a recovery machine.
18. Allow the engine to cool sufficiently to remove the fittings, flexible hoses, and pancake filter from the liquid line.
19. Discard the pancake filter. It can be used one time only.
20. Reconnect the liquid line back into the system.
21. Evacuate, charge, and leak test the system. Make any necessary adjustments.
22. Check the operation of the A/C system in all control function selector lever positions.
