Honda HR-V: A/C Condenser Removal and Installation

Removal & Installation

1. A/C Refrigerant - Recover

2. Front Bumper - Remove

3. Discharge Hose, Receiver Pipe and A/C Condenser - Remove

1. Disconnect the connector (B)
2. Disconnect the receiver pipe (C)
3. Remove the A/C Condenser (D).
   NOTE : Be careful not to damage the radiator and A/C condenser fins, and receiver line when removing the A/C condenser.

4. All Removed Parts - Install

1. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
   • If you're installing a new A/C condenser, add refrigerant oil
   • New O-rings should be used at each fitting. Prior to installation, apply a thin coat of the same refrigerant oil used in the A/C compressor. Be sure to use the correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
   • Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
   • Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle, because it may damage painted surfaces. If refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off with water immediately.
   • Charge the system with the specified amount of R-134a refrigerant.
