2007 Ford Mustang A/C Accumulator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service an A/C Accumulator on 2007 Ford Mustang?

  A: Service of the suction accumulator starts by recuperating refrigerant. Start the service procedure by disconnecting the inlet fitting and discarding its O-ring seals before disconnecting the outlet fitting while discarding separate O-ring seals. The service begins with unbolting the two holding screws that secure the suction accumulator and then removing it from the system. The installation process requires a reversal of removal steps while including new O-ring seal installation and proper PAG oil lubricant application to the refrigerant system. Conclusion involves evacuating and leak testing before performing a chemical charge on the refrigerant system. A replacement suction accumulator becomes necessary only when physical evidence shows contaminated fluid from a defective A/C compressor vehicle or damaged accumulator.
