Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83227
Keep moisture and debris out of your air conditioning system with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator / Filter Drier 83040. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2000-2007 Ford Focus (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications), and the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for an easier install.
A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the accumulator / filter drier ineffective — that is why it should be replaced any time the A/C system is opened or serviced. Replacing the accumulator / filter drier is also commonly required to validate a compressor warranty. Backed by Four Seasons and its more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience. This part is cataloged under both names: A/C Accumulator and filter drier.
What does this A/C accumulator / filter drier do?
It acts as a filter, using a desiccant bag to absorb moisture and remove contaminants from the air conditioning system that flushing cannot remove.
Does the Four Seasons 83040 fit my vehicle?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2007 Ford Focus. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level applications to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
Are installation gaskets and seals included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for installation.
When should the accumulator / filter drier be replaced?
It should be replaced any time the A/C system is opened or serviced, since a leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours.
Why does the desiccant matter?
The high-quality desiccant absorbs moisture from the refrigerant. Once the desiccant bag is saturated, the unit can no longer effectively remove moisture and should be replaced.
