Scheme 35
- Remove condenser -a- from bottom (between lock carrier -b- and radiator -c-).
Note. Always replace O-ring -C- (10.8 mm; 1.8 mm). When installing refrigerant pipe, make sure that spring pin -E- is properly positioned. Removed condenser contains refrigerant oil that must be accounted for in refrigerant system when Condenser replacement is necessary. Refer to Refrigerant R134a - Servicing ("Replacing components").
