LINE-A/C SUCTION

NOTE: 3.7L LHD shown. 2.8L and RHD similar.

The A/C suction line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C evaporator (2) to the A/C accumulator (3), and then, to the A/C compressor (4). The A/C suction line is serviced in two sections.

NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals is required anytime a refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals could result in a refrigerant system leak.

The A/C suction lines have no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever an A/C suction line is removed and installed.

If an A/C suction line cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be leaking or damaged.
