This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this receiver drier do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system. These contaminants cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the drier is essential.
What comes in the kit?
The 83146 is a filter-drier desiccant bag kit that includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, seal, and a plug for installation.
When should I replace the drier?
Four Seasons advises replacing it any time the A/C system is opened or serviced, and notes replacement is required to validate compressor warranty.
Why can the desiccant become ineffective?
The desiccant bag absorbs moisture. A leaking or open system can saturate the bag within a few hours, making the drier ineffective.
Does this fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for select 2008-2015 Hyundai and 2011-2015 Kia models such as Sonata, Azera, Optima, Sedona, and Sorento. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm.
