  • Filters the system: acts as a filter, drawing moisture and contaminants out of the A/C refrigerant circuit — debris that flushing cannot remove, which is why replacing the drier during service is essential.
  • Desiccant absorption: uses a desiccant bag to absorb moisture; a leaking or open system can saturate the bag quickly and leave the drier ineffective.
  • Leak-resistant build: features quality welds for a durable, leak-free design along with high-quality desiccant.
  • Install-ready kit: includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, seal, and plug for installation.

Four Seasons units are produced in an ISO/TS16949 and ISO14001 certified facility and backed by decades of mobile A/C experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
