There is no set millage for when you should replace a manifold line and accumulator. Most mechanics only replace when the accumulator and/or manifold lineÊstart to fail.
yes there are lots of sites will show you online how to replace the accumulator in your PC, example you can visit www.ehow.com
I live in Des Moines, Iowa and I just had my 98 Windstar into a dealer and they quoted me $1,200 for the manifold line and the compressor line to be repaired/replaced. Hope this helps.
what is the cost to replace a 2001 v-8 manifold intake
To replace the accumulator on a 1997 Ford Expedition, first, ensure the vehicle is off and safely elevated. Locate the accumulator, which is typically found near the firewall in the engine bay, and disconnect the battery. Remove the electrical connector and any mounting bolts holding the accumulator in place. Install the new accumulator by reversing the removal steps, ensuring all connections are secure before reconnecting the battery.
On a 2003 GMC Envoy, the orifice tube is located in the air conditioning system, typically found in the low-pressure line. To access it, you'll need to follow the aluminum line from the evaporator to the accumulator. The tube is usually situated near the accumulator or the evaporator coil. It's often necessary to disconnect the lines to replace the orifice tube.
According to Ford's Technical Service Publication it's installed in the a/c evaporator core inlet tube The orifice tube is crimped in the liquid A/C line that runs from the accumulator to the condenser. The liquid line is underneath the accumulator lines so you will have to take out the accumulator to get to it. The crimp is about 6 inches from the condenser side. You can buy a kit to cut the tube and replace the orifice or replace the entire line. My advice is to replace the entire line. You can buy from this site. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/LRS-19835C/1999-01-Mustang-A-C-Liquid-Line-From-Evaporator-To-Condenser Or check your local auto parts store for pricing hope this helps it took me a while to figure out where the orifice tube was on the 2000 mustang gt. you can't just take a quick connect off and replace the 2 dollar orifice like most cars.
Remove the connector nearest the firewall. You will need a special plastic tool to slip around the flange in front of the accumulator and unlock the spring clamp. To replace, reverse the process.
ON THE LOW PRESSURE LINE (SUCTION LINE) IT GOES FROM THE COMPRESSOR TO THE ACCUMULATOR IT'S THE LINE THAT GETS COLD AND HAS A VALVE ON IT,THE FILLING WILL FIT ON IT TO FILL,OR THE VALVE IS ON THE ACCUMULATOR. GOOD LUCK PAUL G
You will need to replace the quick disconnect fitting and it is best to use a steel one.
No. which manifold gasket are you wanting to replace? Intake or exhaust?
If you don't replace a leaking AC accumulator, the air conditioning system will struggle to maintain proper pressure and may not cool effectively. The leak can lead to moisture entering the system, which may cause corrosion and damage to critical components. Additionally, running the AC with a faulty accumulator can result in reduced efficiency, increased energy consumption, and ultimately more expensive repairs down the line. Ignoring the issue could lead to complete system failure.
You will have to disconnect the liquid line and the accumulator from the evaporator tubes in order to remove the heater core.....
