Condenser Removal/Installation: Notes
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Discharge the refrigerant. (See REFRIGERANT CHARGING .)
- Remove the plug hole plate. (See PLUG HOLE PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.5] .)
- Remove the air cleaner component and fresh air duct (No. 1, No. 2). (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.5] .)
- Remove the aerodynamic under cover. (See AERODYNAMIC UNDER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Drain the engine coolant. (See ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT [MZR 2.5] .)
- Remove the cooling fan component. (See COOLING FAN MOTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.5] .)
- Disconnect the cooler hose (HI) and cooler pipe. Do not allow remaining compressor oil in the refrigerant line to spill. (See REFRIGERANT LINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)CAUTION:
- If moisture or foreign material enters the refrigeration cycle, cooling ability will be lowered and abnormal noise or other malfunction could occur. Always plug open fittings immediately after removing any refrigeration cycle parts.
- Remove the radiator with the condenser assembled to it. (See RADIATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.5] .)
- Release the radiator hook and pull the condenser up, being careful not to allow remaining compressor oil in the condenser to spill.
CAUTION:
- If moisture or foreign material enters the refrigeration cycle, cooling ability will be lowered and abnormal noise or other malfunction could occur. Always plug open fittings immediately after removing any refrigeration cycle parts.
- Install in the reverse order of removal. (See CONDENSER INSTALLATION NOTE .)
- Inspect for engine coolant leakage. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE INSPECTION [MZR 2.5] .)
- Perform the refrigerant system performance test. (See REFRIGERANT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEST .)
