Manual A/C Compressor Controls: Receiver/Drier: Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Kia Spectra5, 2005 Kia Spectra, and 2004 Kia Spectra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the condenser, and then remove the drying agent after loosening the cap at the lower end of receiver/driver.
  2. Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • If you're installing a new receiver/drier, add refrigerant oil ND-OIL8.
    • Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a to avoid leakage.
    • Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
    • Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
    • Charge the system, and test its performance.
