Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier P/N:83133
Help keep moisture and contaminants out of the air conditioning system with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Filter Drier 83132, an aluminum filter drier with a pad mount. It is listed for Nissan, Infiniti, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Saab, Subaru and Volkswagen models, among them the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima, 2001-2008 Nissan Maxima and 2002-2005 Nissan Pathfinder. Four Seasons catalogs this part as a filter drier, and it is also known as an A/C receiver drier.
The drier works as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system. Flushing cannot remove those contaminants, so replacing the drier is an essential step in A/C service. A desiccant bag inside the unit absorbs the moisture. If the system leaks or is left open, the bag can become saturated within a few hours and the drier becomes ineffective.
Four Seasons states that the drier must be replaced any time the system is serviced, and that replacement is required to validate compressor warranty. A new drier may be called for when the A/C system has leaked or been left open, when the compressor is replaced, or when moisture is found in the system during service.
See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
What does an A/C receiver drier / filter drier do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system, and a desiccant bag inside absorbs the moisture. Flushing cannot remove those contaminants, which is why the drier is replaced during A/C service.
When should the Four Seasons 83132 be replaced?
Four Seasons states that the drier must be replaced any time the A/C system is serviced, and that replacement is required to validate compressor warranty.
Why does an open or leaking system matter?
A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours. The drier then can no longer absorb moisture.
Does it come with gaskets and O-rings?
Yes. Four Seasons includes the necessary gaskets, O-rings and seal to make installation easier.
