• Q: How to install an A/C Condenser on 2009 Scion xD?

  A: Two claws should be engaged for installing the cooler condenser assembly while making sure to avoid harming the condenser or radiator unit. A newly installed condenser requires an introduction of 40 cc (1.35 fl. oz.) ND-OIL8 compressor oil or its equivalent oil. The installation process begins with removing attached vinyl tape from both the pipe and connecting liquid tube sub-assembly A components before applying ND-OIL8 or equivalent compressor oil to a new O-ring and fitting surface of the tube joint. Then install the O-ring onto the air conditioning tube. Install the air conditioning tube onto the cooler condenser by applying a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) using a bolt. To install the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose, start by removing vinyl tape from both the hose and cooler condenser and then apply ND-OIL8 or equal compressor oil to a new O-ring and the hose joint surfaces before inserting the O-ring onto the discharge hose. The final step is to bolt the hose to the cooler condenser at 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) torque. The installation process requires the assembly of upper radiator support sub-assembly, No. 1 cooler cover, hood lock assembly, upper radiator support absorber, and front bumper cover. Conclude by examining the hood followed by refrigerant charging and engine temperature increase then perform a check for refrigerant leakage.
