Line-A/C Suction

DESCRIPTION





The rear A/C suction line (3) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the rear A/C evaporator to the A/C compressor. The rear A/c suction line is retained into the liquid line tapping block (4) by a plastic retainer. Models equipped with the rear heating-A/C system include an extension tube (5) that connects the suction line to the underbody line by use of a spring-lock type refrigerant line coupler (6) and a secondary retaining clip (2).

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

The rear A/C suction line has 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 the A/C suction line is disconnected.

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