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

  A: The 2 claws should be engaged to mount the cooler condenser assembly into the vehicle while maintaining care to avoid condenser or Radiator damage. The installation of a new cooler condenser requires 40 cc (1.35 fl. oz.) of ND-OIL8 compressor oil or its equivalent to be added to the condenser Japanese-style nuts. After removing vinyl tape from both parts of the cooler condenser the technician must connect the liquid tube sub-assembly A while applying sufficient ND-OIL8 or equivalent compressor oil to the O-ring along with the tube joint. The O-ring gets installed onto the air conditioning tube before tightening the bolt to a torque setting of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). To install the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose first remove its vinyl tape and the connecting part of the cooler condenser, then apply compressor oil (ND-OIL8 or equivalent) to the fitting surface of the hose joint and to a new O-ring, before installing the O-ring onto the discharge hose which should be attached to the cooler condenser using a bolt torqued to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). Assemble the sub-system sequentially beginning with upper radiator support, followed by No. 1 cooler cover, hood lock assembly, upper radiator support absorber and ending with front bumper cover. End the process by performing a check on the hood then charging the refrigerant before warming up the engine and testing for leaks.
