A/C Accumulator for 1998-2003 Ford Escort & More - Four Seasons 83010

Keep your air conditioning system clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, MPN 83010. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2003 Ford Escort and the 2002-2003 Ford ZX2 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. The accumulator/filter drier sits on the low-pressure side and works to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant that flushing cannot clear, which is why it should be replaced any time the system is opened for service.

• Filters and dries the system: Uses a desiccant bag to absorb moisture and traps contaminants circulating through the A/C system.
• Leak-resistant build: Features quality welds for a durable design and high-quality desiccant for appropriate absorption.
• Install-ready: The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for the installation.
• Backed by experience: Produced in an ISO/TS16949 & ISO14001 certified facility using state-of-the-art equipment and high-quality materials.

A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the accumulator/filter drier ineffective, so replacement is essential during any A/C repair. Many compressor warranties also require replacing the accumulator/filter drier whenever the system is serviced.
