2009 Toyota Sequoia Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install an A/C Condenser and ensure proper torque and lubrication on 2009 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: For cooler condenser assembly installation use 2 bolts which need to be tightened up to 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf) torque but must avoid condenser harm. The installation of new cooler condensers needs 40 cc (1.35 fl. oz.) of ND-OIL8 or equivalent compressor oil in the condenser assembly. The installation of the air conditioning tube requires the following steps: first remove the vinyl tape from both pipe and condenser connectors and then lubricate new O-rings with ND-OIL 8 or equivalent before installing the rings to the pipe joint. Fasten the air conditioning tube to the cooler condenser by using two bolts according to a torque requirement of 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf). To install the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose, first remove its vinyl tape along with the connecting part of the condenser. Next, apply sufficient ND-OIL 8 or an equivalent compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surfaces of the hose joint. Then, install the O-ring onto the discharge hose and connect it to the condenser by tightening the bolt to 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf). The radiator assembly installation for 2UZ-FE and 3UR-FE engines should be performed following specifications while charging refrigerant and allowing the engine to heat up before examining for refrigerant leaks.
