Replacing the filter drier is required anytime the system is opened or serviced and to validate compressor warranty coverage. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, so a fresh unit helps keep the components functioning as intended.

What does this receiver drier do?

Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes. This kit includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal, along with a plug, to make installation easier.
When should the filter drier be replaced?
Replace it anytime the A/C system is opened or serviced. Doing so is also required to validate compressor warranty coverage.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It fits 56 applications across BMW, MINI, and Toyota, including the 2011-2016 BMW 528 SERIES and 2018-2021 TOYOTA C-HR. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
What are signs the desiccant may need replacing?
A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within a few hours, making the drier ineffective. If a saturated or contaminated drier is the cause of poor cooling, replacing it addresses that part.
