Ac dryer location

Ezz · Aug 26th, 2019, 21:54

Hi. I have a xc90 2003 d5. Ac is not quite tip top so i thought the dryer might need changing. Does this model have one and if so, where is it?

Thanks
Dave

I done mine last year. From memory it’s next to the radiator intercooler near the AC pump. Just follow the pipes and you’ll find it. Remember to use new o rings I got my filter from Ebay I think.

If u do not know where dryer is suggests u r not qualified to tamper with a/c? Worse case you let gas out and if it touches your skin you will receive severe burns; best case your system empty so you change dryer but if you do not vacuum down immediately the dryer will suck up all moisture in air and you are back to where u started. Apologies if I am wrong about your skills but please be very careful as working on a/c systems is like air bags- there is danger of significant harm and you must have suitable PPE.

Thank you for your responces. My skills at repairing a car are limited and i had no intention trying to do it myself. I do however like to learn where and what the thing is before i go to a garage. A little knowledge is always useful.
Thanks again
Dave
