• Q: How to Service and Repair the A/C Condenser Core of the HVAC System on 2008 Ford Mustang?

  A: The service process for repairing HVAC system condenser cores starts with complete refrigerant recovery and placement of the vehicle on a hoist in NEUTRAL position. You must detach the condenser inlet fitting with a fitting nut before throwing away the O-ring seal then tighten the new fitting to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) while installing it. The procedure for servicing the 5.4L (4V) condenser core includes removing front bumper cover components followed by detachment of the RH and LH air deflectors from the core through pin-type retainer removal. First remove the lower radiator air deflector followed by disconnecting the condenser outlet fitting by removing its fitting nut and disposing the O-ring seal while tightening the new fitting to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) upon installation. Before you extract the condenser core place the two cooler line bracket nuts along with the positioned cooler line to the side. The condenser core installation process requires the exact opposite steps of removal including fresh O-ring seal installation followed by PAG oil lubrication of the refrigeration system with specific quantity. The completion of work includes evacuation followed by leak detection and the process of charging the refrigerant system.
