Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:33155
Keep clean, dry refrigerant circulating and protect your compressor with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, MPN 83279. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2004 Audi A6 Quattro and the 2002-2003 Audi S6 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level application details. The accumulator / filter drier removes moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system, contamination that flushing cannot clear, which is why replacing this component is essential whenever the system is serviced.
Removes moisture & contaminants: acts as a filter, using a desiccant bag to absorb moisture from the refrigerant so it doesn't circulate through the system.
Durable, leak-free build: quality welds and high-quality desiccant support long-lasting, appropriate absorption.
Ready to install: the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for easy installation.
Service note: a leaking or "open" system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the drier ineffective; replacement is also required to validate compressor warranty and any time the system is opened. Backed by Four Seasons' 50-plus years of mobile A/C experience and produced in an ISO/TS16949 & ISO14001 certified facility.
