Aircon Dryer

[Robatron]

I've tried searching for this but havent had alot of luck.

I need to replace the dryer on the aircon unit but I have no idea where it is or how easy it is to get to? Does anyone have any idea?

The unit has changed so now it is R134a, I dont know if that makes any difference or not...

Hi, by dryer you mean heater and evaporator yes? If so, this is found beyond the passenger footwell, you will need to remove the glove box to gain access.

I'm afraid that this is not an easy job by any means, as you'll need to remove the evaporator housing and dismantle it to replace the evaporator.

Paulgo posted posted dash strip down pics recently which may be of some help to you.

the dryer is in the drivers side front wing on the pipe that runs from the compressor thro the wing, its bumper of for easier access

Whoops, I appear to have been talking out of my bottom. Sorry for my misunderstanding .

location is sh&te as i am finding and even with bumper off, the bolts are tough to get too

Rip it all out and save some kgs It'll just go wrong again soon when the pipes corrode or the condensor disintegrates

and in true fashion.....cant shift the drier and one of the pipes from it back to the pump has a crack in the ferrul b*llocks

I need it working before i head off to the Ring and Le mans next month arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg
