Q: How to service and repair the evaporator core on Mercury Cougar?
A: The first step is to take away the heater/evaporator core housing followed by a disconnect of the blower motor/evaporator housing from the heater/evaporator housing by unfastening the bolts and rubber seal and nut and cover. The first step in servicing the evaporator includes unclipping the vacuum hose followed by disconnecting all housing parts before removing the evaporator. The right procedure for installation includes reversing the steps of removal. Also perform checks to verify normal air conditioning operations. You must install O-rings which have refrigerant oil coating together with gaskets on the new evaporator so they match their original positioning from the old evaporator.
Q: Is the evaporator core separately serviceable, and How to service it on Mercury Grand Marquis?
A: A replacement of the combination between evaporator core and housing assembly forms the necessary procedure. The suction accumulator requires replacement only in cases where contamination appears from failed A/C compressors or when the suction accumulator shows signs of damage. A leak test should occur before removing the evaporator core from the vehicle when such a leak is suspected. Service of the evaporator core begins with removing the housing before moving components from the old housing to a new housing for installation.
Q: Is the evaporator core separately serviceable, and how to replacement on Mercury Marauder?
A: A replacement for the entire evaporator core housing assembly is needed because service of the core is not possible separately. Replacement of suction accumulator (part number not specified) is unnecessary unless the A/C compressor failed or if the accumulator shows damage. Any suspected evaporator core leak needs to have its leak rate tested before extracting the part from its vehicle position. You must remove the evaporator core housing before moving components from the former housing to the new one. You need to install the fresh evaporator core housing at the conclusion of the process.
