Evaporator Core: Service and Repair
Front A/C Evaporator - Installation
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant Oil Level
. 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: Service and Repair/Refrigerant Oil Level .
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 in illustrations. 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 See: Housing Assembly HVAC/Service and Repair/Overhaul/Assembly.
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 See: Service
and Repair/Refrigerant Oil Level. Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
