Four Seasons A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly,A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose P/N:83089
Keep the A/C loop clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly / A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose (MPN 33757). It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-1999 Chevrolet Prizm — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications. The accumulator/filter drier stores refrigerant and uses a desiccant to remove moisture and contaminants from the system, keeping the line downstream protected on the suction side.
Because contaminants can't be flushed out, replacing the accumulator/filter drier is recommended whenever the system is opened or serviced, and Four Seasons notes it must be replaced to validate a compressor warranty. This item is listed under both A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly and A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose names.
What does this accumulator with hose do?
It stores refrigerant and uses a desiccant to remove moisture and contaminants from the A/C system, acting as a filter on the suction side that flushing alone cannot clean.
Does it fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-1999 Chevrolet Prizm. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the application for your specific vehicle.
Are seals included for installation?
Yes. Four Seasons states the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included to help with installation.
When should the accumulator/filter drier be replaced?
Four Seasons recommends replacing it anytime the system is opened or serviced, and notes replacement is required to validate a compressor warranty.
Why can't the old unit just be flushed and reused?
The contaminants it captures cannot be removed by flushing, and a saturated desiccant bag becomes ineffective, so replacement is the recommended fix.
