Mariner 4WD V6-3.0L (2010)
Receiver Dryer: Service and Repair
Receiver Drier - 2.5L, 3.0L (4V)
Removal and Installation
NOTE: The receiver/drier fitting studs can be removed and installed separately from the receiver/drier and are available as service parts. If only the
fitting studs are damaged, it is not necessary to install a new receiver/drier.
NOTE: Installation of a new receiver/drier is not required when repairing the A/C system, except when there is physical evidence of contamination from
a failed A/C compressor or damage to the receiver/drier. Damage to the receiver/drier includes leaks, physical damage to the receiver/drier shell or
desiccant, or moisture contamination. Moisture contamination results only from a complete loss of refrigerant, and equalization of the refrigerant system
pressure with atmospheric pressure for a period longer than one hour. If even a slight amount of positive refrigerant pressure is present in the refrigerant
system before repairs are carried out, a new receiver/drier should not be installed.
