Technical details
Renew these while the system’s open
Any time you replace a compressor, renew the wear parts and set the oil — it protects your new compressor and your warranty:
Accumulator / drier
Always replace the drier with the compressor so moisture and debris don’t reach the new unit.
Shop driers →Expansion valve / orifice
Replace the metering device so refrigerant flows correctly and debris is caught.
Shop metering devices →PAG oil & UV dye
Set the correct PAG charge and add UV dye to catch future leaks fast.
Shop oil →Only the control valve failed?
If the compressor body is sound and only the electronic control valve has gone, you may be able to replace just the valve instead of the whole compressor. If that’s your Wrangler, see the electronic compressor control valve — confirm it matches your unit before ordering.
Fit it right
A new compressor fails fast if the system isn’t flushed and the oil isn’t set. Do it in order:
Recover & flush
Recover the charge, then flush the system to clear debris from any prior compressor failure.
Replace wear parts
Fit a new drier and metering device, and new O-rings at every connection you open.
Set the oil
Measure and set the correct PAG oil charge for the system before install.
Evacuate & recharge
Pull a deep vacuum, then charge to the vehicle’s R-134a specification.
