• Q: How to Service and Repair the A/C Condenser Core on 2006 Ford Taurus?

  A: Begin refrigerant recovery then do set the vehicle on a hoist in NEUTRAL for condenser core service and repair work. Unfasten the 2 bolts from the left side of the condenser core while also recording that both sides remain identical for refitting steps. After installation, secure the bolts at 6 Nm (53 lb-in). Start by taking out the 4 pin-type retainers combined with the grille before detaching both 2 pin-type retainers on the grille opening reinforcement's backside. Moving forward succeed in disconnecting the lower radiator air deflector by unscrewing 5 screws while you should also eliminate the air deflector when equipped. Use a wrench to remove the plastic wire tie before unfastening the condenser fittings with 2 nuts at 8 Nm (71 lb-in) torque accompanied by a discard of the O-ring seals for new fittings during assembly. Workers should separate pin-type retainers from both left-hand and right-hand air deflectors before removing bolts for subsequent tightening to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). The condenser core must be lowered and removed with extreme caution after finishing all bolt removal. The condenser installation requires the backward order of removal steps with the correct installation of new O-rings and appropriate lubrication with clean PAG oil. The refrigerant system completes with evacuation procedures followed by leak testing then charging of the refrigerant.
