Complete Air Conditioning System Maintenance

Model: Hyundai Sonata - Years 2004-2014
Part: Air conditioning

This maintenance for the air conditioning system involves replacing the condenser (or radiator, as it may be called) and the compressor. To replace the air conditioning radiator, you must also remove the engine cooling radiator, which requires draining the refrigerant. After installing the condenser, proceed to replace the air conditioning compressor, which requires replacing the connector and soldering the electrical wires, ensuring they are properly protected with heat-shrink tubing. After installation, perform a system flush before recharging the gas and the compressor's lubricant oil.
