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. The internal desiccant absorbs moisture that flushing cannot remove, helping protect the rest of the components.
Does part number 83397 include installation hardware?
Yes. This kit includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, seal, and plug for installation, along with the desiccant bag.
Which vehicles does this fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including select 2016-2024 Audi A6 / A6 Quattro, 2018-2025 Audi Q5, 2020-2022 Honda Accord, and 2019-2022 Honda Insight. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your exact vehicle.
Should I replace the drier when servicing the A/C system?
Per the manufacturer, the drier should be replaced any time the system is opened or serviced, as a saturated desiccant bag becomes ineffective and can affect compressor warranty coverage.
Why can't the moisture just be flushed out instead?
The manufacturer notes that the contaminants and moisture captured by the desiccant cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the drier is the intended way to address them.
