Notes on Replacing Drier Bottle or Drier Insert




64 53 ... - Notes on replacing drier bottle or drier insert

The drier bottle or drier insert does not have to be replaced at regular service intervals in a functioning, leakproof A/C system.
However, the drier bottle or drier insert must be replaced without fail in the event of:
- the refrigerant being fouled by chips (e.g. when the compressor is clamped).
- a leaking A/C system or loss of refrigerant
- the refrigerant circuit being open for a period exceeding 24 hours, e.g. during a repair.
