Replying to: gardis (May 25, 2009 4:16 pm) Yes, the dealer is resolving the issue after the failed reprogramming, which I am sure they tried twice. Hope your issue is less involved. Between the holiday and the wait time for ordering the part, this is taking a week. Good Luck! |

Who knows how to replace the evacuator/dryer? It is located just behind and below the passenger headlight. Do you have any other insights: warnings, online manuals available, etc.? Thanks.

Replying to: mhutchinson (May 30, 2009 7:45 am) NOTE: A/C system is drawn off. Notes On Replacing Drier Bottle Or Drier Insert The drier bottle or drier insert does not have to be replaced at regular service intervals in a functioning, leakproof A/C system. However, the drier bottle or drier insert must be replaced without fail in the event of: * fouling of the refrigerant by filings/shavings (e.g. when the compressor is clamped) * a leaking A/C system or loss of refrigerant * the refrigerant circuit being opened for a period exceeding 24 hours , e.g. during repair work. Follow instructions for dryer bottle replacement. Remove complete right headlight. Remove holder for headlight mounting.Unfasten screws. NOTE: Pull pressure and intake pipes upwards and fit with plugs if A/C system remains open for longer than one hour. Installation: Replace sealing rings.Unfasten screws and pull drier flask upwards to remove.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (May 30, 2009 8:25 am) Background: I am replacing the compressor as it began knocking and recently it became loud enough to hear it inside the car driving down the highway with the windows closed. New Problem: I was told there is no in-line filter screen as is found on many US systems. Is this correct? If so, how would I check for or debris/shavings from the compressor except to examine the inside of the lines where I disconnect them from the compressor? Looking fwd to your response.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (May 30, 2009 12:03 pm) Wash out the lines. I've never done that before. I'm guessing you remove the lines from the car and run [what] through them? How do you dry them out again? Thanks again Mr. S. The refurbished compressor contains 1.5 oz. of ICE32 oil. I have not lost any oil. Do I need to add any?
