Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier with Hose Assembly,A/C Refrigerant Discharge Hose P/N:83128
Keep your A/C system dry and free of contaminants with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier with Hose Assembly / A/C Refrigerant Discharge Hose (MPN 33716). This combination unit filters moisture and debris from the refrigerant circuit and integrates the connecting hose, and it installs as a direct-fit replacement for many 1994-2002 Saturn models — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list.
The receiver/filter drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants that cannot be cleared by flushing the system, which is why it should be replaced whenever the A/C is opened or serviced. Moisture absorption is handled by a desiccant bag; a leaking or open system can saturate that desiccant within a few hours and leave the drier ineffective.
Fitment: 1994-2002 Saturn SC Series, SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2; 1994-2001 Saturn SW Series and SW2; 1994-1999 Saturn SW1. This part is listed under both A/C Receiver Drier with Hose Assembly and A/C Refrigerant Discharge Hose names.
What does this receiver/filter drier do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system that cannot be cleared by flushing. A desiccant bag inside absorbs system moisture.
Does it include installation hardware?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal are included for installation.
When should the drier be replaced?
It must be replaced any time the A/C system is opened or serviced, and replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty.
Why can't the drier just be flushed instead of replaced?
The contaminants and saturated desiccant it holds cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the drier is the correct service step.
Which vehicles does MPN 33716 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for many 1994-2002 Saturn SC Series, SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2 and SW-series models. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list.
