How to remove and install a compressor in an air conditioning system on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

If you're replacing the compressor, also replace the accumulator and the orifice tube. REMOVAL: Have the air conditioning system discharged. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Raise the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Remove the accessory drive belts. Unplug the electrical connector from the compressor clutch connector and the high-pressure cutout switch. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the compressor. Plug the open fittings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture. Be sure to remove and discard the old refrigerant line fitting O-rings. Remove the compressor mounting bolts and remove it from the vehicle. INSTALLATION: If a new compressor is being installed, pour out the oil from the old compressor into a graduated container and add that amount of new refrigerant oil to the new compressor. Also, follow any directions included with the new compressor. The clutch might have to be transferred from the original compressor to the new unit. Installation is the reverse of removal. Replace all O-rings with new ones specifically made for use with R-134a refrigerant and lubricate them with R-134a-compatible refrigerant oil. Have the system evacuated, recharged, and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.

Chrysler PT Cruiser A/C Compressor

The A/C Compressor found in Chrysler PT Cruisers is essential to the cabin cooling loop. It squeezes low pressure refrigerant gas into a high pressure high temperature state, giving cooled air a chance to flow through the vents. Within every Chrysler PT Cruiser is an efficient A/C Compressor that keeps the refrigerant flowing. The hot gas moves to the condenser after compression. Outside air takes away the heat, and the gas moves as a cooled liquid to the evaporator. The evaporator throws frosty air back into the passenger space and thus the cycle continues. From the early Chrysler models of the PT Cruiser to the final production years, the function of the A/C Compressor stayed the same, which is pump-and-pressurize. However, two refrigerant styles appeared. Early units applied R12 while later designs switched to cleaner R134a. This required different lubricating oils too. Other than making the components compatible with different refrigerants, the capacity and the mounting points remained similar, which allowed tight packaging of the Chrysler engine under the hood without changing the belt routing. The PT Cruiser's A/C Compressor relies on strong seals, and when they wear, cabin temperatures climb fast. The A/C Compressor is crucial for maintaining comfort.

Q: How to remove and install a compressor in an air conditioning system on Chrysler PT Cruiser?
A:
If you're replacing the compressor, also replace the accumulator and the orifice tube. REMOVAL: Have the air conditioning system discharged. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Raise the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Remove the accessory drive belts. Unplug the electrical connector from the compressor clutch connector and the high-pressure cutout switch. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the compressor. Plug the open fittings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture. Be sure to remove and discard the old refrigerant line fitting O-rings. Remove the compressor mounting bolts and remove it from the vehicle. INSTALLATION: If a new compressor is being installed, pour out the oil from the old compressor into a graduated container and add that amount of new refrigerant oil to the new compressor. Also, follow any directions included with the new compressor. The clutch might have to be transferred from the original compressor to the new unit. Installation is the reverse of removal. Replace all O-rings with new ones specifically made for use with R-134a refrigerant and lubricate them with R-134a-compatible refrigerant oil. Have the system evacuated, recharged, and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.
