Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83299
Keep your A/C system dry, clean, and protected with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator (MPN 33155). It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1994 Ford Tempo and 1988-1994 Mercury Topaz — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact application.
The accumulator / filter drier works to remove moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system — debris that flushing alone cannot clear, which is why replacing the accumulator during service is essential. Moisture absorption is handled by an internal desiccant bag; a leaking or "open" system can saturate that bag within a few hours, leaving an old unit ineffective.
Backed by Four Seasons' decades of mobile A/C experience and produced in an ISO/TS16949 & ISO14001 certified facility. Replacing the accumulator / filter drier is typically required to validate compressor warranty and should be done any time the system is opened for service.
What does this A/C accumulator do?
It acts as a filter drier, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system through an internal desiccant bag so they don't circulate and damage other components.
Which vehicles does MPN 33155 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1994 Ford Tempo and 1988-1994 Mercury Topaz. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact application.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal are included to help with installation.
When should the accumulator be replaced?
It should be replaced any time the A/C system is opened or serviced, and replacement is typically required to validate compressor warranty.
Why can't the system just be flushed instead?
Some moisture and contaminants cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the accumulator / filter drier is the way to clear them and keep the system dry.
