Backed by over 50 years of mobile A/C experience, Four Seasons produces its accumulator/filter driers in an ISO/TS16949 and ISO14001 certified facility. Replacing the accumulator is typically required to validate compressor warranty and should be done anytime 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 using an internal desiccant. These contaminants cannot be removed by flushing, so the unit must be replaced.
Which vehicles does the 33201 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1983-1985 Ford Grand Marquis, 1980 Lincoln Continental, 1980-1983 Lincoln Mark VI, 1981-1985 Lincoln Town Car, 1980-1985 Mercury Grand Marquis and 1980-1982 Mercury Marquis. See the Buyer's Guide tab.
Does it include installation hardware?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included to help with installation.
When should I replace the accumulator?
It should be replaced anytime the A/C system is opened or serviced, and replacement is typically required to validate compressor warranty. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within hours.
Why can't I just flush the system instead?
Flushing cannot remove the moisture and contaminants trapped by the desiccant, so replacing the accumulator/filter drier is essential to keep the system clean and dry.
