• Q: How to overhaul an A/C Condenser assembly with a receiver on 2006 Toyota Matrix?

  A: The process of overhauling the condenser assembly with receiver proceeds by releasing refrigerant from the refrigeration system using Special Service Tool: 07110-58060 (07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080). Before disconnection the air conditioning tube assembly begin by unscrewing the bolt and disconnecting the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe A from the w/receiver condenser assembly. The next step is to remove the O-ring from the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe A. Both openings must be sealed with vinyl tape to stop moisture and foreign matter from entering. The discharge hose sub-assembly requires removal of its bolt and its O-ring then sealing each opening with vinyl tape. Begin by removing the condenser assembly with receiver by taking out the 2 bolts and 2 radiator upper supports then sliding the upper part of the radiator assembly rearward. The installation of the cooler dryer requires a 14 mm (0.55 in.) socket hexagon wrench to detach the modulator cap followed by removal of the O-ring from the cap before using pliers to remove the cooler dryer unit. Install the cooler dryer by using pliers then place a fresh O-ring on the cap followed by lubricating the O-ring and cap fit surfaces with compressor oil (ND-OIL 8 or equivalent) then tighten the cap using a socket hexagon wrench 14 mm (0.55 in.) at 2.9 N.m (29 kgf.cm, 25 in.lbf). Mount the condenser assembly with receiver through 2 bolts secured at 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf). Attach the 2 radiator upper supports with 2 bolts. Discharge hose sub-assembly repair requires vinyl tape removal before applying compressor oil to new O-ring and hose joints and installing the O-ring after which technicians should bolt it to the w/receiver condenser assembly with 5.4 N.m (54 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) torque. Air conditioning tube assembly requires removal of vinyl tape before applying compressor oil to the new O-ring and pipe joint. To install O-rings on the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe A, connect tube to w/receiver condenser assembly through a bolt which needs 5.4 N.m (54 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) torque. The system requires Special Service Tools: 07117-48130, 07117-48140, 07110-58060 (07117-58060, 07117-58070, 07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080) capable of charging the system to 470 plus or minus 30 g (17.28 plus or minus 1.06 oz.) while warming the engine to check for refrigerant leakage.
