SRT-4 L4-2.4L Turbo VIN S (2004)
Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation
A/C Liquid Hose/Line
The liquid line is the refrigerant line that goes from the A/C condenser to the accumulator tube tapping block. On 2.0L LHD models, the liquid line
contains the variable orifice valve (VOV) and the low side service port and is only serviced as an assembly, except for the rubber O-ring seals and the
service port valve core. On 2.4L and RHD models, the liquid line is serviced in two sections and contains the high side service port.
CAUTION: Use only O-ring seals specified for the vehicle. Failure to use correct O-ring seal will cause the refrigerant system connection to leak.
The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced
whenever the liquid line is removed and installed.
If the liquid line is found to be leaking or is damaged, it must be replaced.
