2007 Lincoln Town Car A/C Condenser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install a new A/C condenser and ensuring proper functionality on 2007 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Both the bottom rows of the condenser core perform as separate units that act as oil-to-air transmission coolers in addition to their refrigerant cooling function. An inspection of condenser installation to replace a leaking component using fluorescent dye needs confirmation that transmission leaks are not present. The A/C system needs a new suction accumulator only when system contamination occurs from a failed A/C compressor or damaged suction accumulator. Recover the refrigerant first then place the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist. Begin by removing the upper radiator sight shield and then proceed to eliminate the four lower side air deflector pin-type retainers and the bottom cooling module air deflector. You need to detach both transmission cooler line fittings from the condenser before removing the two condenser fitting nuts to disconnect the fittings. Throw away the O-ring seals and gasket seals while tightening these connections to 15 Nm (11 lb-ft). The reinstallation of these components should be performed by first tightening the four upper side air deflector pin-type retainers and the two cooling module bracket bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). You must release the two cooling module brackets before taking out the condenser bolt to remove the power steering cooler from its clips on the cooling module. To install the cooling module start by reversing the removal steps while utilizing new O-ring seals and gasket seals and ensure proper cleaning of the refrigerant system with the needed amount of PAG oil. The process finishes by performing evacuations and leak tests on the refrigerant system while charging it with refrigerant then completing the transmission fluid level to specification.
