Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83296
Keep your air conditioning dry and clean with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator 83097, a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Mounted on the low-pressure side, the accumulator stores refrigerant and, with its built-in desiccant, removes moisture and contaminants that flushing alone can't clear from the system.
A leaking or "open" system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the accumulator ineffective. Replacing the accumulator / filter drier is called for anytime the system is opened for service and is typically required to validate a compressor warranty. If a saturated or contaminated accumulator is behind your A/C problem, this unit replaces it.
What does this A/C accumulator do?
It stores refrigerant on the low-pressure side and uses a desiccant to remove moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system that flushing cannot clear.
Does it fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
Are gaskets and seals included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal are included to make installation easier.
When should the accumulator be replaced?
Replacement is called for anytime the A/C system is opened for service, and it's typically required to validate a compressor warranty.
Why can't I just flush the old accumulator?
The contaminants and moisture it collects cannot be removed by flushing, so the accumulator / filter drier must be replaced to restore proper filtering.
