Keep your air conditioning system dry and clean with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element (MPN 83205). This Filter Drier Desiccant Bag Kit ships with a plug and installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: 2013-2018 Ford Focus, 2014-2018 Ford Transit Connect, 2015-2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport, 2008-2015 Land Rover LR2, 2012-2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, 2007-2015 Volvo S80, 2008-2010 Volvo V70, and 2010-2016 Volvo XC70 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Because a leaking or "open" system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours and leave the drier ineffective, replacing this component is called for anytime the A/C system is opened or serviced, and its replacement is required to validate compressor warranty. Backed by Four Seasons' 50-plus years of mobile A/C experience.
