When replacing a compressor on 1985-1990 Cadillacs, inspect, clean, or replace the orifice tube as needed. Then, depending on the model and year either install a service liquid line filter assembly or compressor hose assembly to remove any debris from the refrigerant system. Flushing refrigerant systems with R11 is not a recommended service procedure and will not be included in the labor time allowances. The chart below lists the service parts by model and year.





For warranty purposes use the following Labor Operations to replace the compressor assembly and install the liquid line filter.
