OEM 2008 Toyota Sequoia A/C Condenser

2008 Toyota Sequoia Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install an A/C Condenser and ensure proper torque and lubrication on 2008 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: Use 2 bolts to mount the cooler condenser assembly so each bolt reaches a torque of 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf) but maintain safe distance from the condenser. Users need to put 40 cc (1.35 fl. oz.) of either ND-OIL8 or equivalent compressor oil into a new cooler condenser. You must first strip the air conditioning tube assembly of vinyl tape before treating the pipe joint fitting surface with compressor oil (ND-OIL 8 or equivalent) and placing the new O-ring onto the air conditioning tube. Install the air conditioning tube to the cooler condenser using 2 bolts which should be tightened with 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf) torque. To install the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose, start by removing the vinyl tape then apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the hose joint before installing the O-ring on the discharge hose and finally connecting it to the cooler condenser through a bolt with the same torque schedule of 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf). Follow the installation procedures for the radiator assembly that applies to 2UZ-FE and 3UR-FE engines while performing a refrigerant refill process followed by engine heat-up and leak detection.
