Keep your air conditioning system dry and free of debris with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element 83151. This filter drier desiccant bag kit ships with a plug and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002 Suzuki Aerio, 2001-2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara, and 2002 Suzuki XL-7 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this receiver drier do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system. An internal desiccant bag absorbs moisture that flushing cannot clear.
What vehicles does the 83151 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2002 Suzuki Aerio, 2001-2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara, and 2002 Suzuki XL-7. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes. The kit includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal, along with a plug, to help make installation straightforward.
When should the drier be replaced?
Many compressor warranties call for replacing the drier any time the A/C system is opened or serviced, since a saturated desiccant bag can no longer absorb moisture.
Why can't the old drier just be flushed?
The contaminants and moisture it collects cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the drier is the intended way to restore proper filtering and drying.
