2008 Mercury Mountaineer A/C Condenser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the A/C Condenser core on 2008 Mercury Mountaineer?

  A: Start servicing and repairing the HVAC condenser core by recovering all refrigerants. You should first remove the air cleaner and then unscrew the two bolts from the coolant expansion tank before placing the tank to the side. Reinstallation requires tightening bolts to 7 Nm which is equivalent to 62 lb-in. You must disconnect the transducer electrical circuit before removing the condenser inlet nut and disconnecting the fitting. Retain the old O-ring until you reinstall the fitting by tightening it to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). After discarding the O-ring seal for the outlet fitting of the condenser the mechanic must tighten it to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). The two discharge line clips should be detached from the compressor-to-condenser connection and the two cooling module bolts should be removed before positioning the module in reverse order while tightening to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Begin the replacement by removing the upper radiator air deflector followed by loosening the two condenser core bolts to tighten them to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) force when reconstruction is complete. Installation of the condenser requires an inverse order of disassembly steps with replacement of new O-ring seals and correct clean PAG oil lubrication of the refrigerant system. The final step involves evacuating and leak checking the refrigeration system after performing a vacuum charge.
