• Q: How to Service and Repair the A/C Condenser Core on 2007 Ford Mustang?

  A: The first necessary step when servicing the HVAC condenser core involves recovering all refrigerant present within the system. Install the vehicle on a hoist when it is placed in NEUTRAL gear. The procedure requires you to remove the condenser inlet fitting nut before disconnecting the fitting with O-ring removal. Tighten the new fitting until torque reaches 8 Nm (71 lb-in) after use. Owners of 5.4L (4V) vehicles need to remove the front bumper cover followed by separating the RH and LH air deflectors from the condenser core through pin-type retainer removal. The next step involves disconnection of the condenser outlet fitting nut then removal of both the lower radiator air deflector and the condenser outlet fitting. After discarding the O-ring seal, install the new fitting with 8 Nm (71 lb-in) torque. To replace the condenser core it is essential to first remove both cooler line bracket nuts followed by setting the cooler line to the side. The new condenser core installation follows the reversal of removal steps while incorporating proper new O-ring seals and PAG oil lubrication for the refrigerant system with the correct amount. The refrigerant system needs evacuation then leak testing before charging with the correct amount of clean PAG oil.
