• Q: How to install the A/C Condenser on 2008 Toyota Corolla?

  A: Begin the installation process of the receiver condenser assembly by attaching it first with 2 bolts at 9.8 Nm torque (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf) and then following with 2 radiator upper supports installed by using 2 bolts. The installation process for the discharge hose sub-assembly begins with removing the attached vinyl tape from the hose and connecting part of the receiver condenser assembly. Next, apply compressor oil (ND-OIL 8 or equivalent) to a new O-ring before installing it onto the discharge hose sub-assembly. Use a bolt to join the discharge hose sub-assembly with the receiver condenser assembly while tightening the bolt to 5.4 Nm (54 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). To install the air conditioning tube assembly firstly remove all vinyl tape from the pipe and connecting piece then apply compressor oil to a new O-ring as well as the pipe joint before installing the O-ring onto the receiver condenser assembly using a bolt maintained at 5.4 Nm (54 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) torque. Refrigerant charging should be followed by engine warming and a check for any refrigerant leaks.
