2007 Toyota Avalon A/C Condenser Parts Q&A

• Q: How to remove and install an A/C Condenser in a refrigeration system on 2007 Toyota Avalon?

  A: The condenser removal procedure starts by discharging refrigerant from the system followed by air cleaner inlet No.2 and air cleaner inlet No.1 removal and hood lock assembly detachment until finally separating the radiator support upper. Before continuing disconnect the bolt holding cooler refrigerant discharge hose No.1 along with its O-ring along with sealing the openings with vinyl tape to stop moisture and foreign matter from entering. The air conditioner tube and accessory should be detached by unbolting them and covering their openings with vinyl tape for sealing. You need to remove the cooler condenser assembly through the removal of its 4 bolts. The installation process starts with fitting the cooler condenser assembly by tightening 4 bolts to 5.0 N.m (51 kgf.cm, 44 in.lbf). Additional 40 cc (1.4 fl. oz.) of ND-8 or equivalent compressor oil should be added when replacing with a new condenser. To install the air conditioner components, start by using ND-OIL 8 or equivalent compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface before placing the O-ring then fastening the tube with the accessory bolt at 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf). After removing the tape from cooler refrigerant discharge hose Number 1 you must apply compressor oil to a new O-ring which you should then install using a torque of 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf). The process ends with reinstalling the radiator support upper along with the hood lock assembly before charging the refrigerant and engine warming and leak inspections.
