  Q: How to overhaul the A/C Condenser with receiver condenser assembly on Scion xA?

  A:

  The first step to overhaul the HVAC condenser with receiver condenser assembly demands the use of Special Service Tool 07110-58060 (07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080) to evacuate refrigerant from the refrigeration system. Ubolt the radiator grille along with low pitched horn assembly and high pitched horn assembly by removing 3 bolts simultaneously while removing the hood lock support sub assembly by unclipping then removing its 2 bolts. Seal the openings of the cooler refrigerant discharge hose No.1 after removing its bolt and O-ring by applying vinyl tape to stop moisture and foreign matter from entering. Dismount liquid tube sub assembly A which requires removal of its O-ring and secure both ends with sealed vinyl tape. You must first remove two bolts from the w/receiver condenser assembly before moving on to the condenser bracket collar No.1 by taking out its two bolts. Insert a 14 mm socket hexagon wrench to remove the cooler dryer before taking off its cap and O-ring and finally remove it with pliers. Use pliers to install the new cooler dryer and then place a new O-ring onto the cap surface before adding compressor oil from the ND-OIL 8 or equivalent product line to both surfaces. Secure the cap with pliers under 2.9 Nm (29 kgf.cm, 25 in.lbf) torque. Begin with placing the two condenser bracket collar No.1 bolts at 3.9 Nm (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf). Then proceed with w/receiver condenser assembly bolt installation at 9.8 Nm (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf). Subassembly A of the liquid tube requires compressor oil to be applied on both a new O-ring and hose joint before being fastened with a bolt at 5.4 Nm (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf). The cooler refrigerant discharge hose No.1 receives its compressor oil on a new O-ring before being bolted at 5.4 Nm (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf). First install the hood lock support sub assembly through its 2 bolts reaching torque of 5.0 Nm (51 kgf.cm, 44 in.lbf) before attaching the clip followed by assembly of the hood lock with 3 bolts then the high and low pitched horn assemblies. Allow the hood sub assembly to reach its tolerance through adjustment while using Special Service Tool: 07110-58060 (07117-58060, 07117-58070, 07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080) to add refrigerant to 460 plus or minus 30 g (16.2 plus or minus 1.1 oz.), then warm the engine before checking for leaks.

  Q: How to properly remove and install an A/C Condenser on Scion xA?

  A:

  A correct removal of the condenser HVAC starts with battery terminal cable uncoupling followed by a minimum 90-second wait period for Air Bag safety. Start by evacuating the refrigeration system of refrigerant before you remove three bolts on the radiator grille, low pitched horn assembly, high pitched horn assembly and hood lock assembly. You must take off the hood lock support sub-assembly by detaching its clip and unfastening the two bolts. Thoroughly isolate the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose by unthreading its bolt then unhook its O-ring followed by wrapping the hose ends in vinyl tape to stop moisture and foreign materials from getting inside. The liquid tube sub-assembly requires removal of its bolt and O-ring before sealing both ends with vinyl tape. Disassemble the condenser with receiver assembly by uninstalling its two bolts. To install the condenser with receiver assembly use 2 bolts that require 9.8 N.m torque (100 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf). The liquid tube sub-assembly installation begins by removing vinyl tape before applying compressor oil (ND-OIL 8 or equivalent) to a new O-ring and its installation followed by securing the liquid tube using a bolt that reaches 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) torque. The No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose installation includes removing the vinyl tape followed by compressive oil application to a new O-ring while installing the O-ring before securing the hose with the bolt at 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) torque specification. First install the hood lock support sub-assembly by bolting it two times to 5.0 N.m (51 kgf.cm, 44 in.lbf) torque and clip in before adding the hood lock assembly using three bolts. Reinstall the high pitched horn assembly together with the low pitched horn assembly and radiator grille. First normalize the hood sub-assembly before repairing the negative battery cable then initialize all systems that need it after reconnecting the cable to the terminal. The technician conducts refrigerant charging while heating up the engine while inspecting for refrigerant escapes.
