Date Dec. '87

SUBJECT: AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

MODELS AFFECTED: 1988 ELDORADOS/SEVILLES

FIGURE 1 - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM FILTER:

All 1988 Eldorados and Sevilles are equipped with a refrigerant system filter within the compressor hose assembly muffler, Figure 1. The new hose assembly can be identified by the indentations in the muffler. This filter eliminates the need to flush the A/C system after a compressor failure.

When replacing a compressor on a 1988 Eldorado or Seville:

1. Replace the compressor hose assembly, P/N 1640410.

2. Inspect the orifice tube for debris and if necessary clean or replace it. If in the unlikely event a screen on the orifice tube is ripped, the evaporator core, condenser, and orifice tube must also be replaced.

For warranty purposes, use Labor Operation D4440 at 1 hour for compressor replacement with an add time of .6 hour for compressor hose assembly replacement.

NOTE: Do not submit any time for refrigerant system flushing, as it is not necessary.
