Four Seasons states that the accumulator / filter drier must be replaced any time the A/C system is serviced. It also states that replacing the drier is required to validate compressor warranty. Replace this element whenever the A/C system is opened for repair. Replace it as well if the system has leaked or been left open long enough for the desiccant to become saturated.

No. The 83302 is supplied as a filter drier desiccant cartridge without a plug.
When should the filter drier be replaced?
Four Seasons states the filter drier must be replaced any time the A/C system is serviced. It also states that replacement is required to validate compressor warranty.
Which vehicles does the 83302 fit?
It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK300, 2005-2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 and 2006-2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK280. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Why can a leaking A/C system ruin the desiccant?
A leaking or open system lets moisture in. The desiccant can become saturated within a few hours, which leaves the filter drier ineffective, so repair the leak and replace the drier during service.
