DENSO Auto Parts A/C Condenser P/N:477-0782
Help your air conditioning system shed heat from the refrigerant with the DENSO Auto Parts A/C Condenser 477-0857, a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2007-2009 Pontiac G5 and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion. The condenser takes the hot, high-pressure refrigerant vapor coming from the compressor and releases its heat so it can turn back into a liquid before moving on through the A/C system.
A condenser may need replacing if you notice warm air from the vents, refrigerant leaks, or bent, clogged or corroded fins. Other A/C components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the system before replacing parts. The A/C system must be properly evacuated before removal and recharged after installation. Engine details for each application are listed in the Buyer's Guide tab.
