Service Repair Manual -- AC System Schematics for a Flush & Rebuild

11K views 17 replies 4 participants last post by  beretta96  
Here's the Parts and Labor page. If you have a blown compressor, you will see bits in the lines and ports on the compressor. Wipe them with a clean white paper towel to see if there's anything small you can't see. If you see stuff, you need to replace all expansion valves, orifice tubes, and driers; and flush the condenser, evaporators, and lines with all the previously listed parts disconnected. Replace service valves when you recharge the system.

...There's no specs or figures to work off of😕
Yeah, trying to find a system diagram led to nothing but pictures of the evaporator boxes that didn't really show much. Probably will have better luck looking up the part numbers since the parts catalogs use different diagrams.

What year is your 3rd gen? I can get the parts list for it.
 
It's not all grouped together like the '14. The lines will probably be most helpful. Oddly enough, I looked up the first number and it showed as a 98-00 part. 🤔

May just need the line gaskets at the compressor. I'd sure try that before shelling out a few hundred on a new one.
 
Push the bolt through as far as you can to expose the top. Then get out a file and make it skinny. It's hanging on the rust and burrs from your extractor.

Once you get it out, clean the hole in the bracket with a tight fitting drill bit. Put it back together with some anti-seize on the outside threads so this doesn't happen again next time.
