Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83225
Keep your A/C system clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, MPN 83259. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2007 Audi A4, 2002-2007 Audi A4 Quattro, and the 2002-2007 Audi A4 / A4 Quattro application — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. The accumulator / filter drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system that cannot be cleared by flushing, which is why it should be replaced whenever the system is serviced.
Replacing the accumulator / filter drier is required to validate a compressor warranty and should be done any time the system is opened or serviced.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does the A/C accumulator / filter drier do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system that cannot be cleared by flushing. A desiccant bag absorbs the moisture.
Which vehicles does MPN 83259 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2007 Audi A4 and 2002-2007 Audi A4 Quattro applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Are gaskets and seals included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included to make installation easier.
Why should the accumulator be replaced when servicing the A/C?
Contaminants and moisture it holds can't be removed by flushing, and replacement is required to validate a compressor warranty and should be done any time the system is serviced.
What happens if the system is left open before installing?
A leaking or "open" system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the accumulator / filter drier ineffective.
